<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3666772, member: 93702&quot;]Well my balloon popped pretty quickly on the new JC coin .. as I was notified by PM by two very respected members that there was extensive tooling and.. ya.. not good.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to relive my extreme happiness - and try to pinpoint exactly when my bubble burst well the thread is here:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/well-i-did-it-julius-caesar.345331/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/well-i-did-it-julius-caesar.345331/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/well-i-did-it-julius-caesar.345331/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I was actually even more ecstatic than I sound in the post.. it was an incredible feeling that did not end well. So that was not fun at all (and embarrassing) - yesterday was not my best day.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">I sent an email to the seller last night and an offer for a full refund was immediately forthcoming. I have exercised that option. So that is good.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>I really thought I had checked things out sufficiently: purchase from a respected dealer with a 100% refund policy, I reviewed the Fake Coin Reports on Forvm, I reviewed dozens of coins of this type to get a feel for what I was looking for. What probably threw me off was the wide range of portrait styles and with many in rough shape I guess I could not see the issues. I suppose it is a bit of seeing what you want to see and inexperience that led to this mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you to the members who PM&#039;d me and pointed out this issue (and for being so respectful of my feelings, etc). It is embarrassing but it would be even more embarrassing to keep posting this every chance I got and only hearing about the concerns a year from now... when I could do nothing about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone sees a coin of this type at a reasonable price I would appreciate knowing about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>**Also if you have the inside track on a bridge in Brooklyn and some swamp land in Florida apparently I am your man!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In all seriousness I am determined not to let this ruin my enjoyment of this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers! Have a great Monday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
