Well, I think some might argue that this coin is only worth its bullion value anyhow, the genuine coin that is

 

That may be true. But, if you want one in your collection of ASE bullion coins, you will pay a premium for it.

 

Here are those pictures...

A few grams short of a full package.

 

The world has no shortage of ANA member dealers. Some of those are also members of PNG and IAPN, not to mention your own state and local clubs. Never deal with anyone you do not know. When I have been at an ANA convention and wanted to write a check for a coin, I am wearing a Member badge and also a Speaker ribbon and often as Judge ribbon. And still the dealer asks me who knows me and I can point to someone else on the floor and they wave at each other and the dealer accepts my check. Of course, now we do so much electronically even on the bourse floor. But the fact remains, it is just good business practice to depend on reputational gossip.

Allow me to recommend a book, Bourgeois Virtues by Deirdre McCloskey.
A potent source of bourgeois virtue and a check on
bourgeois vice is the premium that a bourgeois society puts
on discourse. The bourgeois must talk. The aristocrat gives a
speech, the peasant tells a tale. But the bourgeois must in
the bulk of his transactions talk to an equal. It is wrong to
imagine, as modern economics does, that the market is a field
of silence. "I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with
you, walk with you, and so following.... What news on the
Rialto?"
For one thing, talk defines business reputation, as at the
Iowa City cocktail party. A market economy looks forward and
therefore depends on trust. The persuasive talk that estab-
lishes trust is necessary for doing much business...

Here's the Fraudulent Company. Now, when I saw the video, it didn't say where they were from until after I got the Coin. https://www.vindblomst.com/Products/list-r1.html But the video never showed that the company was in Australia until after you get the packing slip! Once I find the actual video, I will post it.

 

Pretty obvious, whoever made the dies didn't polish the die blank very well before cutting it and whatever CNC mill and software he used to to cut the die didn't have the stepover set right.

 

Found this info by googling the company name- someone on reddit was asking if it was a legitimate site to buy silver, and among replies was a link to Facebook page with reviews stating the company is scamming people. Here is that page: https://m.facebook.com/pg/Vindblomst-Shop-111985093624079/reviews/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0

 

Actually, looks like it was "3D" printed...

 

I appreciate you sharing this information and humbly accepting the flak!

 

If you paid through Paypal, you should be able to dispute it through them.

I tried...but they only have a recording that states...Due to the Corona Virus, our staff is not here, please call back later!

 

Taking every precaution to ensure that you and your money stay socially distanced.

 

You shouldn't need to call to open a dispute.

Thanks, i will check it out!

 

A horribly bad fake. Weight is wrong, the blue field of the flag is wrong, Liberty's neck is wrong, the obv fonts are wrong, the die orientation is wrong, and it is a 2013 with a reverse they stopped using in 2008. Plus other errors.

 

That neck is funny...

 

Here's another place. Stay away!
