There have been many cases where it was not discovered that a coin was a counterfeit until years after the purchase, and the dealer still had to take the coin back and refund the buyers money. You see, when a dealer sells you a coin, as a genuine coin, he has to guarantee that coin is indeed genuine, and that guarantee is for life. So you can buy a coin from a dealer, put it in your collection, and years later send it to a TPG for grading. And if the coin comes back as a counterfeit then, even years later, the dealer has to refund your money. That's the law, and the dealer has no say in the matter. It all hinges on what is called title. And if a fake is sold as a genuine coin then legally there is no transfer of title. And like I said you have to prove all this - you can't just "claim" it is true. An expert, like a TPG, has to examine the coin and verify that it is indeed a counterfeit. And you have to prove that you bought the coin from the dealer, with a receipt from that dealer. Do that and the dealer's hands are tied - he has to refund your money.[/QUOTE]
