[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1878971, member: 36230"]It happens countless times every day, so why not? As an example, ebay is filled with coins in flips that simply had a so-called "grade" slapped onto them with the hopes that someone will believe and bite. You grab a flip, write a grade (other than what the coin really is) that you think will be more attractive to potential buyers, and there you have it. Dinky local auction companies are not immune. One thing I must question though is, if all the coins "[I]came that way[/I]", how was the IHC photographed in the same flip with and without writing on it? I am not sure how this works today, but assume you're only allowed a certain number of listings per month because you're new? If so, I also assume that this restriction would be lifted after a certain amount of time, so it may be best to bite the bullet. You're a new seller, and since on ebay, you're going to need to build some sort of a reputation by feedback to give confidence to buyers (even if it is a false confidence).

Welcome to ebay. The buyer complains, you're taking it back.... period.[/QUOTE]
