<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1365247, member: 24544&quot;]I wanted to post this in light of some of the recent negative stories about ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought an 1833 in vf condition on ebay which turned out to be a fake.&nbsp; The design details were correct, unlike some I have seen, so I don&#039;t think I could have avoided the situation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller had a three day return policy on the coin, but by the time I got around to attributing the variety I was already past the three day period.&nbsp; When I finally got around to checking it out, I noticed the diameter was a little too big, it had a grainy surface, and the edge just did not look right.&nbsp; When I went to attribute the coin it had the reverse of an N3, but a horned 8 like the obverse of N5 (but no die cracks).&nbsp; Needless to say, all these things taken together and I knew it was fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>I contacted the seller after their return period had expired and explained why I thought the coin was fake and asked for a refund.&nbsp; Short story, the seller was very apologetic about the counterfeit coin and offered a full refund plus shipping for me to send it back.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can check out the coin and the great seller at the link: <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F180800847689%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT_trksid%3Dp3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F180800847689%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT_trksid%3Dp3984.m1439.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/180800847689?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a shame these coins are coming into our market, but this seller handled the situation in a very professional manor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
