<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1782881, member: 36230&quot;]May I ask exactly how you have been &quot;<i>fairly fortunate&quot;?</i> As for &quot;<i>no harm, no foul</i>&quot;, unless no claims to the coin&#039;s condition were made, I strongly disagree.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When a collector buys based even in part on the seller&#039;s description, you are putting your faith in both their knowledge and honesty, so when something like this happens (and it happens a lot), an absolute foul has been committed. This is not directed towards you, but I&#039;ve long believed what more, especially novice, collectors need to understand is that it can be much easier to profit in this business using deceit than it is being honest and upfront with buyers, particularly with a venue like ebay. Until or unless one truly knows what they are doing, the best thing they could do is to just find a good dealer who is willing to assist with their collecting goals. Avoid so-called “ebay deals” and don’t even bother with the old and often tried idea of buying raw to submit with the hopes of making money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
