<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 8114301, member: 44210"]Not yet. Don’t think I will until I figure out what I’ll do with the coin. I don’t collect fourrees (although this one seems kind of interesting), and I suspect that the BD, if it is that, is more widespread underneath the silver plating. And BD can be a hassle if it keeps coming back after being “cured”. I’m leaning towards returning it and getting a refund. The auction house guarantees against “forgeries”; nothing specifying that they <i>have</i> to be modern reproductions. Or at least maybe I can try to argue for a refund on the basis that the actual weight was not as described. There also happens to be no mention of my coin being a fourree/silver plated in the description, just that its an AR tetradrachm. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea on how auction venues typically approach the issue of silver coins that turn out to be fourrees? Or when a coin’s weight is a good amount lower than as what was listed? Are these things they’ll be willing to accept a return for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
