<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 3551918, member: 43130&quot;]As a seller, I&#039;ve done this a few times over the years.</p><p>1. The first time, the buyers were kind enough to mail them back to me so I could get them right. There was a delay, of course, but I compensated both with some free silver coins.</p><p>2. The second time, I switched an 1892 Barber Quarter with a 1892 Barber Half Dollar. So each buyer recieved the wrong coins, as they were auctioned on the same night. The buyer who received the half dollar, which was valued higher, decided to ignore my messages, keep the half dollar and capitalize on my mistake. I ended up letting the buyer who mistakenly received the quarter keep it for free to make up for my mistake.</p><p>3. It had been a long time, but I recently auctioned an 1803 Large 3 Draped Bust Half Dollar in PCGS VF20 for $585. I mistakenly mailed him my 1803 Small 3 Draped Half in PCGS VF20. The small 3 is worth around $400 more than the large 3. So I messaged him and explained my mistake, asking him if he would do the right thing and open a return and I would compensate him with some silver for his trouble. He responded, &quot;To be honest, no, I don&#039;t want to do this. I want to keep the small 3 Half. But I guess I wouldn&#039;t want it to happen to me, so yeah, I&#039;ll send it back...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Sort of a disturbing response to my brain... openly admitting that his initial response is to take advantage of my mistake. But in the end, if he follows thru, then I consider myself VERY lucky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, I&#039;ve been on the other end of the situation before. A dealer mailed me 3 graded notes worth about $1500 and mailed another buyer my coin, which was worth about $700. We both did the right thing and immediately shipped the wrong notes/coin back, and I recieved my coin in due time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
