Are you sure it can't be an off metal strike, or struck on foreign planchet? As you mentioned, their strict laws make it not worth the risk. I'm...
And I have a diploma in Common Sense. You know who really believes in this stuff? Children.
IMO, it doesn't make any difference on the more rare stuff. The people who would be bidding towards the top already know all that info. With lower...
A steel die being warped? Isn't the metal too thick and brittle for that? Even if it did become convex the deeper parts wouldn't be turned inside...

The last time aliens probed my butt, they left me a $20 gold piece in there, so I don't mind them too much. =)
Honestly I think this badge is a moot point. The listing already states if you accept Paypal right under your eBay handle and item location portion.

In addition to what raider said, a really good whiz job requires high magnification to identify. A 5x or 10x loupe may not be enough, but even a...
