[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 398893, member: 5629"]The problem is that buying this coin under the assumption that it is an 1800/1798 as opposed to an 1800 80/79 provides a falsified education in this area. If the buyer purchases the coin after looking up the "price guides" and sees that there are three varieties that are close to price in lower grades, will erroneously "educate themselves" as to what the 1800/1798 looks like. Now, if this buyer then sees an 1800 sold that has the same date markers as the coin he previously purchased as an 1800/1798, and the coin grades above Fine, then this misinformed buyer could potentially spend hundreds to even thousands of dollars more for an 1800 80/79 since the 1800/1798 goes for quite a premium above the 1800 80/79 in mid-circulated and uncirculated grades. This seller's auction, and his refusal to correct it, is potentially dangerous.[/QUOTE]
