[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 7782258, member: 100005"]For the benefit of anyone reading this, who might think it's dangerous to buy unslabbed coins from reputable companies whether through auctions or retail. [U]It's nothing to do with luck.[/U] If you get an opinion from a known expert who says it's fake (like David Sear), I really doubt if a reputable auction house will refuse the return. If the person who said it's fake is an anonymous poster on a discussion board, I think the auction house will be within their rights to wonder if the condemnation is justified. Especially if no evidence is presented to support the opinion. For example an identical twin (centering, strike, flaws) for sale elsewhere is pretty watertight evidence of a fake. But then again it's good that people prefer to buy slabbed coins. Less competition for the unslabbed.[/QUOTE]
