<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1093449, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;m sorry you got taken but I really don&#039;t see anything wrong or actionable in that auction.&nbsp; Yes there is probably some real hype in the description about the source of the coins, but I see nothing wrong in the description of the lot itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it says he was IN two world wars, not that he SERVED in two world wars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn&#039;t imply anything, you inferred something not stated.&nbsp; He sid there at least 24 or 25.&nbsp; You said there were 26, so he told the truth.&nbsp; The fact that the ones not shown were culls doesn&#039;t matter.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Does he say they are still in the collectors 2X2&#039;s?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now here you might be getting close, but he doesn&#039;t show the tops of the boxes, and they are apparently fairly new if not brand new boxes.&nbsp; The collector did not die &quot;Years ago&quot;, it says he died in 2009.&nbsp; Could he have labeled the coins?&nbsp; Maybe, or as I suggested the seller may have reholdered them.&nbsp; You do say the writing on the holders matches that on the shipping box so that is a possibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only real claims he makes is that there will be at least two silver coins (True because there are two in the pictures), that there are at least 24 or 25 coins from the 1800&#039;s (True, you said there were 26), one of the silver coins was an 1879 (True, it&#039;s in the pictures), and that that coin is choice BU (Now here you have something because from the picture it obviously isn&#039;t).&nbsp; He says it has a choice BU 1932 Peso (It has the peso, but it isn&#039;t BU).&nbsp; Has Swiss coins from the late 1800&#039;s (True, at least one in the picture.),&nbsp; Has a Spanish coin from 1877 (True, in pictures but they don&#039;t &quot;look new&quot;).&nbsp; Then you have where he says &quot;I have seen those before and I know they go for $30 to $40 each.&quot;&nbsp; That MAY be true but only in a sale to someone who doesn&#039;t know what he is buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall I&#039;m sorry to say you don&#039;t have much of a case.&nbsp; You were a victim of a carefully worded sale and your own greed hoping to get something for nothing.&nbsp; You got pretty much what was described and you aren&#039;t happy you didn&#039;t get better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
