<p>[QUOTE=&quot;guanelid, post: 512742, member: 16988&quot;]<b>One more thing about the 1796 dollar on eBay</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I forgot to mention that I started off my &quot;investigation&quot; by directly asking the seller if he had any reason to believe that the coin was a fake.&nbsp; I got back a reply very quickly, and the answer might be characterized as evasive.</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked a compound question:&nbsp; &quot;Do you have any reason to believe that the bust dollar is fake or has been cleaned or otherwise altered?&quot;&nbsp; In other words, I asked him two questions in one.&nbsp; (1) did he have reason to believe it was a fake, and (2) did he have reason to believe the coin had been cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer I received was:&nbsp; &quot;As the listing states i know nothing about coins. It doesn&#039;t appear to have been cleaned.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, I got a direct answer to the part of the question about whether it had been cleaned .&nbsp; But you decide if he answered the question about believing the coin was a fake.&nbsp; He said nothing more than what he said in the auction, which was that he claims not to know anything about coins.&nbsp; As he said in the auction, he doesn&#039;t know if the coin is real or fake.&nbsp; I think the same thing could be said about his answer to my direct question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
