<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thejewk, post: 8324149, member: 100136&quot;]I had a coin last year that developed a breakout of bronze disease in transit to me from the seller which wasn&#039;t immediately obvious but became more and more obvious over a few days.&nbsp; Thankfully he is a good ebay seller and I returned the item to him.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He told me in correspondence that it was part of a large lot of coins he purchased at auction and all of them on resale had had similar breakouts of bronze disease exactly as I described it.&nbsp; I followed his store and kept a watch to see if the coin would reappear after treatment.&nbsp; Lo and behold, last month the coin reappeared after his treatment, without too much damage, just some loss of silvering and some visible bare metal in spots, and I repurchased it from him for about 1/5th of the original price.&nbsp; It is now sitting in a flip on my desk under close observation for a good few months before joining the rest of my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You say you can&#039;t return the coin.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Have you asked the seller, and if he refuses, contacted Paypal or whatever company you made the payment with?&nbsp; If no bronze disease is present in the seller&#039;s images and nothing mentioned in the description, it is not as described and so you should get a refund.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
