[QUOTE="sesop, post: 651934, member: 19386"]I've edited out my email address- thanks for all the tips. I'm attaching a pic of the coin from Govmint.com (posted it in another thread but figured it couldn't hurt here too). I see the point about the rims looking different on this one, as well as the notion that for the amount of marks, the coin should be more worn- I still have some hope that its real, but if it is, at best, it's been cleaned to the point that in spite of its shineyness, the rims/rails are worn down. The coin hasn't shipped from the store yet- if you were me, would you cancel the order? Also, in canceling the order/returning the coin, or all the statements people have made about the other two I posted, isn't calling them fakes tantamount to accusing a seller of fraud? I know it's more common to find fakes than genuine TDs, but it's the expert dealer/store's job to know their merchandise. If a watch store was carrying fake Rolexes, wouldn't we expect the shop to know the difference? The store where I found the 2 coins seems to be a small-time dealer whose name has not been mentioned in either of my threads as a reputable dealer- if someone would PM me, I could share the name- maybe that would help? Anyway... do I cancel the order or receive the coin? Thanks again. You guys are incredible.[/QUOTE]
