<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2786901, member: 71642&quot;]I also don&#039;t know much about these (saw the auction, but have no experience to say one way or the other).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage is not in the business of selling fakes and would take this very seriously I&#039;m sure.&nbsp; Certainly not knowingly but no one person/grading company/auction company/dealer etc is going to be perfect.&nbsp; But Heritage is a professional organization and will correct a mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the boilerplate of Heritage&#039;s terms/conditions (from their site--the Hong Kong auction and scroll down to the bottom for the PDF link&nbsp; <a href="https://coins.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=3055&amp;ic2=rightcolumn-auctresults-121913" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=3055&amp;ic2=rightcolumn-auctresults-121913" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=3055&amp;ic2=rightcolumn-auctresults-121913</a> ). </p><p><br /></p><p>Please note under Coins and Currency Additional Terms J &quot;All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also Terms 46 and 47 allude to returns and court remedies.&nbsp; Given that the coins are guaranteed genuine this is a relevant section.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, Heritage will make good if it&#039;s a counterfeit, but damages will be limited to giving you your money back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know that I would rely on an internet forum for a final answer, nor do I know the justification for calling it a fake.&nbsp; It may be unknowledgable people posting.&nbsp; It may be insufficient photos or details that do not allow for the correct answer.&nbsp; It may be people messing with you trying to get you to sell/give the coin away cheaply...OR they may be entirely knowledgable and correct in their assessment and it is indeed a counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Contact Heritage.&nbsp; Tell them your concerns and the data/reasoning to support, including the forum correspondence that made you concerned.&nbsp; An assessment by more than an internet forum will likely be required. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and please follow up with the outcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
