I didn't say he did. What does it say about society when acting with integrity and character in commercial transactions is considered "tough?"
This is a great thread! Everyone, particularly those new to coin collecting, should carefully read all of this. It should leave no doubt in...
While you may be technically correct from a legal standpoint, to me this is more a matter of integrity and character. There are many folks buying...
I agree with those who recommend that you tell the buyer to return the coin and you will refund the money. You apparently cheated him unless...
I didn't realize that. I thought they used something like a "modified ANA standard" where they took about 99% of the technique from the ANA, and...
