<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2182257, member: 66"]The auction house has to be able to pass legal title to you in order for the sale to be final. You can not pass good title on a counterfeit. If the auction house refuses to accept the return let him know you will file a complaint with the state licensing board that they are selling counterfeits. The state will yank his license for that. He should become much more agreeable. And technically under the revised Hobby Protection Act selling a counterfeit/unmarked copy is illegal.</p><p><br /></p><p>(b) COINS AND OTHER NUMISMATIC ITEMS.—The manufacture in the United States, or the importation into the United States, for introduction into or distribution in commerce, <b>or the sale in commerce of any imitation numismatic item which is not plainly and permanently marked “copy”, is unlawful and is an unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission Act.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
