[QUOTE="Vlad, post: 1091941, member: 1319"]Hello, I am ashamed to acknoweldge that I recently got fooled into buying a group of slabbed coins advertised as an unsearched (or, more exactly, not fully searched) group of coins that came from somebody who collected coins for 85 (i kid you not) years. Sort of like liquidation of the collection. There were almost 10 pictures of the same selected group of coins that looked fairly decent for a lot. What I got obviously were cheap junk coins that sell for $5 a pound and a few old culls. All coins that had any kind of value ( I mean like over 50 cents) were on the original picture. There is more: 1) 239 out of 240 coins are slabbed into brand new , spotless cardboard mylars, still shining and smelling. There is no way whatsoever they came from an old collection. 2) All notes on all slabs are made by the same hand, with the same pen, with the same ink. 3) they all slabbed in the exactly same manner; 4)they were put in the old boxes very accurately, yet with no order whatsoever. 5) who in his own mind slabs coins that worth 5-6 cents each? 6) he sells lots like these fairly regularly (this grandma that must be pushing 100 already calls him out of the blue every couple of months with new boxes, right) The thing that confused me most and made me buy it, is that he has an impeccable 1000+ feedback , no negatives and only a few neutrals ( that say that the coins were junk, but they still are neutrals) So , what do I do here? Please help, it was supposed to be my birthday present. I will post the link if moderators allow it. ........................................................................
