[QUOTE="JSinNOLA, post: 1765807, member: 56288"]Interesting turn of events... This coin was listed on eBay with a low reserve and described as never having been graded. Available as is. The coin sells for $285 and upon delivery the buyer freaks out claiming a multitude of crazy things: 1. The coin in person is brighter than pictured and that I must have either altered the picture or taken it in perfect light to make it appear darker.. (not true because to the naked eye it wasn't as bright as the picture came out) 2. The coin sent was not the one pictured (Uhhh, right.) and now the biggest claim...... 3. The coin is a fake! The buyer says he took it to a coin shop and that the coin "has an altered mint mark the d is to tall and narrow it has been obviously tooled and there is a depression around it which means it was added post mint." I apologize for his runon sentence and poor grammar. Now the buyer is threatening legal action and blah blah blah... I'll upload some more images if I still have them, but is any of what the buyer said about it being fake remotely possible? What a saga...[/QUOTE]
