<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2549117, member: 15588&quot;]I agree that once a coin is altered from its originally purchased state (i.e., removed from its original holder) a whole slew of questions arise. Exceptions always exist, but, putting myself in a dealer&#039;s shoes, I can completely understand why a dealer would greatly suspect anything that was opened prior to asking for a refund. </p><p><br /></p><p>What seems sticky to me is when a coin can only be deemed counterfeit by removing it from its holder - especially if a dealer explicitly states that counterfeits will be refunded. Someone buys a coin with that agreement in mind, receives the coin and then has it authenticated by an expert (or a TPG company), which <i>may</i> necessitate its removal from the original holder. The expert then claims it&#039;s a counterfeit and the purchaser, whose only route to authenticity was removing the holder, is now stuck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
