[QUOTE="PyrotekNX, post: 116701, member: 3918"]First of all, contacting other bidders either during or after an auction about an item for any reason is strictly prohibited under EBay policy and they will yank your account quicker than you can scream rape. You can also be sued for libel and defamation of character and you could be responsible for the loss of income from the seller. On that note, you have no proof that it is in fact a fake, I honestly think that it is the genuine article. As Speedy already mentioned, it's a dropped letter error which are a rare item indeed. The depth of the incuse 'R' is much too deep to be done with a simple pair of vice grips. That requires the striking pressure of several thousand pounds to get that deep of an impression. Also the surrounding area of the coin is completely damage free. If you tried to exert that amount of pressure on a coin with a home apparatus, it would definitely show other signs of damage.
