<p>[QUOTE="Edward D Shapiro, post: 6223684, member: 116777"]Well I saw a rare Indian coin that had a rare variety. It was a double fanam</p><p>1804 with a circular dot belt buckle and it was empty without a clasp. I had never seen one of this variety so I had nothing to compare it too and couldn't find a picture so I put in a reasonable bid. It took a long time to receive it from India. It was packed improperly and when I examined it , it was too shiny for its age and it was probably shined .I am in USA and I have bought a few coins from India, but never again. The seller had 100% positive feedback</p><p>and said free returns. But the photo was taken in such a way to make it look ok, it must have been edited. Now I buy only from US sellers. I also buy from dealers that are proven to be straight forward. Also in the bidding I suspected a shill pumped up the price to my maximum bid. It was previously sold , when I researched it but the previous sale was never completed. The bottom line is to trust the dealer. When you find a good one stick with them. Once you find they can't be trustworthy and the deal is too good to be true, it probably is .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
