<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1276669, member: 30400&quot;]Thanks, Marshall, for verifying that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I talked to DLRC (David Lawrence Rare Coins, where I bought the fake 1804) after emailing all the documentation. They were quick to accept a return and arrange a refund. Naturally they&#039;re going to do a little backtracking on how it was acquired but, ultimately, the fake will find its way to NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was a big financial recovery for me and I am grateful CT has members like Conder, Marshall, and Mark with special knowledge as well as an interest in helping fellow collectors. Digging through varieties takes time and patience. Usually there is some satisfaction and enjoyment that comes from it, I know. In this case there are hearty pats on the back too.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for NGC, well, no one&#039;s perfect. But, it is a little unsettling. Experienced collectors constantly remind newcomers to beware of rare raw coins and instead rely on top TPG&#039;s. It is still great advice. Because if they fail you there is always the TPG guarantee. The trick is knowing when they&#039;re wrong. Sharing on forums like CT is one great way to find out!</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
