<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2414668, member: 76965&quot;]Just a little cautionary word.</p><p><br /></p><p>I successfully bid on&nbsp; two coins on eBay recently and received the second of them 3 days ago. They were described as 1840 Silver Rupees from British India and although collectable, they are of affordable value/price in lower grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins came from 2 very different sellers and even different continents.....but had one thing in common....both were fakes. I received full refunds(including postage) with little or no resistance but was not permitted to post any feedback reviews after the cases were closed.</p><p><br /></p><p>So much for the feedback system!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>And what about those unsuspecting buyers who don&#039;t know what to look for or how to spot fakes???</p><p><br /></p><p>Brings me back to what I have said a few times before on various threads....I am of the firm belief that if you cannot hold a coin and check it out with a loupe, don&#039;t buy it on the basis of a scan unless you trust the seller 100% or the coin is slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are just too many fakes out there even for coins of $20-30 value. Good luck and buy safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
