[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1809982, member: 29643"]I got a response from the individual whom I purchased the coin, and they explained that it was a gift given to them from the RCM at a conference in March. They are one of the refining customers (not sure what that means) of the RCM. So, it seems legitimate. :) The coin was a part of a gift set that I had purchased. It was about $285 altogether for a watch and the coin. Beyond that, thanks Sam for sticking up for me, but I don't fault newer members for taking the "If you got it for $15, you should know it's fake" approach. After all, my status or whatever says "New Member," and my decision to repost was kind of newb-ish, in its own right. Also, I looked at the pictures I used, and it kind of looks like they were taken on a roofing coating or similar substrate. It was actually on a foam padding material, since I didn't want to overly scratch or dent the surfaces while trying to image the coin. Speaking of damaging the coin, it has ugly milk spotting. Trey, thanks for sticking up for new folks also. Edit: Jensen, that polar bear coin looks pretty cool. Thanks for mentioning it. And, yes, eBay, since the RCM was sold out and no stores were selling them. Oh, also, it scaled within tolerance (1.001 Troy ounces) on my gram scale. I don't have calipers nor a basis of what the dimensions are, since I wasn't sure *which* troy ounce issued by the RCM to use as a guide.[/QUOTE]
