Yep, that is my experience as well.
My only point sir would be you should learn how to grade a series, at least in the grade range you are thinking of buying, before you make a...
Whether he "accepts" returns or not, I would mail it to him with proof. I had to do that on a group lot once that the main coin was a fake. Ebay...
Yeah, I have never seen coins for sale in Thailand at local markets. Quite a few buddhist amulets, but never coins. Btw, go to a newstand and see...
