[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4980463, member: 10461"]Hence the irony I previously mentioned. But I think not. When I looked at his feedback at the time, it [I]seemed[/I] at least like he was merely a respectable World coin collector. I couldn’t figure out the incomplete lettering on that coin. While it didn’t automatically scream “FAKE!” to me, that was another layer of uncertainty with it. In those old scans, it almost looks semi-prooflike. But that was the polishing. IIRC, the Chinese buyer paid somewhere in the mid- $100s for it (remember, I put plenty of disclaimers in the description, since to this day I don’t know if it was real but polished, or bogus). He was pleased and left positive feedback. If it was real, he got it for a good price, despite the polishing. And any way you slice it, it was a solid win for me, considering I’d gotten it for peanuts.[/QUOTE]
