<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2789379, member: 87737&quot;]Forgot about this. Here&#039;s a follow up on my Trade Dollar purchase posted earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got the coin, and well, it wasn&#039;t the coin in the photo. Just your average Chinese fake. Weight &amp; diameter were off, and neither the obverse or reverse were of the 1877 variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first step was to photograph the &#039;coin&#039; and submit along with a request for a refund to the seller and to ebay. I also called my local Secret Service office, and while they weren&#039;t familiar with Trade Dollars, they told me that if I was certain it was counterfeit to not return it, and to dispose of properly (stamp as copy, cut in half, etc.). Ebay initially was a bit on the stubborn side about the refund without returning the &#039;coin&#039;, but the seller (fortunately) refunded the full amount right away. I did leave scathing negative feedback for him first though, and he begged me to remove it, and I ignored his request. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, in the end, I got my money back, and I have a sample counterfeit Trade dollar in my collection, clearly marked as &#039;Fake&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
