[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 784383, member: 13016"]You can, indeed. The Hobby Protection Act states that all counterfeit coins must be labeled as such. This coin is not stamped. It is also illegal to sell counterfeit coins with the intent to deceive. He sold you at least one counterfeit coin, and can get in some pretty big trouble for that. I would be nice about it and everything, but if he will not offer you a refund, you should threaten the following: 1) File a Better Business Bureau report against him. 2) Contact police and file a report. 3) Contact federal authorities and report him. If he still does not offer a refund, make good on your threat. By the way, you would have been best off avoiding this whole mess by educating yourself before purchasing the coins.
