Message:: [QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3449143, member: 99642"]Neither would I if I had the extra jack. I like the fact that it's slabbed, that's somewhat reassuring.  I guess I would be termed a "bottom feeder" since I like to buy the best item I can, at the lowest price I can get it for.2 weeks ago I bought a "Fatman" dollar from a well known (to me) eBay seller. It was under weight according to his scale. He had a pic posted. It weighed 23.6 grams. We conversed. He assured me it was silver and tested with a gun. I bought it and when I had it tested, also with a gun, it was .999 fine silver, which is also wrong for a "Fatman" .But I'm happy because I only paid $14.50 for the coin. Today I had 4 recent buys tested with the gun. The 2  5 Pesetas tested fine, but of 2 French Indo China Piasters I had tested, one was fine and the other was only .250 silver. It's going back. I've already sent him an email. It's really hard to tell the good one from the bad one by the way they look.[/QUOTE]
