[QUOTE="sand, post: 8188313, member: 118540"]Congratulations, Donna. I recommend waiting, until you receive the money, before you reply to the MA-Shops email. I took French in middle school, high school, and college, but I was never very good at it. I had to take it, to graduate from college. However, that was a long time ago. I didn't have enough confidence, in my French skills, to give an opinion, about whether the seller's listing was misleading. I wish, I had taken a screen shot, of the original seller listing. Maybe someone else did. Because, now, it seems, that the current seller listing, makes no mention of the NAC auction. [URL]https://www.ma-shops.com/cheilan/item.php?id=15251[/URL] However, it seems sort of dumb, to say something like (even if that's what he/she said, which I don't know) "A similar coin, sold for 4,500 Swiss francs, at NAC auction X Lot Y". Why say that? It reminds me, of a television advertisement, for gold plated coins. It's like, the seller is trying to lure an un-knowledgeable person, to buy the coin. Maybe, the seller learned his/her lesson, sort of. Or, maybe, the seller is just trying to hide his/her tracks.[/QUOTE]
