<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1425746, member: 36230"]While I respect your opinion on the situation, it is mine that this is not at all a gray area. It is nothing more than intentional fraud. Yes.. there are details/gennied coins that should not be in such holders, but it does not appear that this seller is simply trying to right a wrong. He is knowingly buying problem coins and trying to sell for straight money. Is this not the same as misrepresenting, altering, At-ing, or otherwise doctoring a coin as a means to take advantage of a buyer? I believe it is. Look at the second coin in your example.. the eBay seller refers to the obverse graffiti as "marks" even though it is obvious they were intentionally made and there is no doubt that he knows it. This is noting more than fluff intended to deceive. Intentional deception is intentional deception... no gray area about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was your purchase and how you wish to handle the feedback situation is none of my business.
