<p>[QUOTE="frech001, post: 2221730, member: 20616"]Caution in making accusations is always best. I recently sold a three coin set of uncirculated commemorative coins on eBay and the buyer claimed they had been cleaned because he could see what he thought were scratches on one or more of the coins. I refunded his purchase and re-listed them with better photos showing that the "scratches" were in fact die file marks that were convex lines only in the fields of two of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've also sold commemorative medals that were of different metal composition than ones listed in reference catalogs. Upon researching them I've found that many medals were created in multiple metals. There is no substitute for knowledge. That is why I read forums and invest in lots of books. EBay sellers need positive reviews and debating with a disgruntled buyer is not the way to obtain them. So, if I know I'm right and the buyer is wrong, I just let it go. Unfortunately, the buyer of the three coin set that I refunded left no feedback at all. Apparently his pride was bruised when I reposted them proving he was wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
