[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 3378039, member: 71510"]Update. The seller started sending me guilt e-mails complaining that I was trying to take advantage of him, and that if it had been a true BU UNC coin, that it would have been taking advantage of him for thousands of dollars. Crocodile tears for sure. The fact is that if he knew this about the coin, he obviously would have had it certified as such - but instead was trying to sell a problem coin raw, and lied about condition. There is a difference between saying "coin is raw" and allowing someone to judge condition and bid based on it - and blatantly stating a condition and/or grade as a lie. Calling the coin a "Choice BU Uncirculated" coin when in fact you know that it is a problem coin is a blatant and deceptive lie. Also, he stalled on accepting the delivery for 2 weeks, and I had to escalate to Ebay to get my money back. Ebay took less than an hour of review to decide the case in my favor, and acknowledged that he had done this before with the same coin. He also had problems refunding the money to the previous 2 buyers. I will get my money back - after escalation. And I'm really hoping that Ebay will yank his account since he is a habitual liar and fraudulent seller. I fully understand gambling on raw coins. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But when a seller blatantly lies - it's another story. This was obvious fraud, and it's ending poorly for the fraudster (and me too). All in all, it cost me $51 since I opted to insure the package at my own expense. I really wanted the coin, and if it was in fact an AU55/AU58 I would have been happy at the price - since it matched my collection so well. But this was a blatant attempt at doctoring, altering and lying. If I was in a store and saw the coin in hand, I never would have purchased - and the auction description should contain the truth.[/QUOTE]
