<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chromerunner, post: 2099253, member: 67530&quot;]Here is where it gets tricky.</p><p><br /></p><p>To say the buyer knew is not fair.&nbsp; Once again I am not casting judgement on any party until I get all the details in front of me. The owner of this coin is in his late 80&#039;s. I don&#039;t know if he owns a computer or&nbsp; even a red book for that matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that The company it was purchased from does not deal in replica&#039;s, tribute or etc. Only bullion and investment coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It all could come down to a simple mistake or a etc. Although I just can&#039;t process a coin being offered at 5% book value and they claim not to know its fake....even though 5% book value on this coin is no small figure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit he is somewhat at fault for going into this so haphazardly. I believe he bought this coin sight unseen over the phone, I do not know how it was represented at this time. I will have more details to post once everything gets sorted out and I know the facts vs speculating.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The scary/sad part is, if he had not brought the coin by and showed it off he would have this coin setting in his set/collection.....none the wiser.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which is the main reason I posted this story/thread other than to help confirm my gut feelings.</p><p>Thanks to everyone for the quick responses earlier on the slab/coin details.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this thread helps someone out and reminds them to always check over the coins and slabs before purchasing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
