<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 279653, member: 6370&quot;]This is true but then again most ancient coin sellers...almost EVERY coin seller I buy from and any coin seller worth buying from...has a lifetime return policy if the coin is found to be fake...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like Forum ancient coins who claim: <b>&#039;All coins are Guaranteed for eternity&#039;</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most auction houses and shops have a similar policy if they are worth a damn...this is very important for ancient coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All dealer on Vcoins subscribe to that groups code of ethics and they will respect an experts opinion and make things right if a fake makes it through...like ACC coins many or most go futher and say something like this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[FONT=Arial,sans-serif]<font size="2"><b><span style="color: #ff0000">Authenticity: </span>All items are guaranteed to be authentic (unless stated otherwise) and as described. There is no time limit on this guarantee - if you will find that the item sold is not authentic, or is not as described, you may return it any time.</b></font>[/FONT] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Or Ancient Imports who say: <b>Coins can be returned at any time for documented questions of authenticity and can be returned with two weeks for any reason--complete satisfaction is the only acceptable outcome of any transaction.</b> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and all these sellers:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>are to follow the code of ethics that reads:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ol> <li><i><br /> [*]I subscribe to the terms of the VCoins Dealer Code of Ethics and agree to be bound by the provisions thereof, including any revisions as may be made from time to time.<br /> [*]I will conduct my business in a professional and ethical manner, and will exercise common sense and courtesy in my professional dealings, to ensure that no discredit is brought to VCoins or other VCoins dealers.<br /> [*]I will freely share my numismatic knowledge with non-professional collectors or interested individuals and will encourage research into ancient numismatics and history.<br /> [*]I will promptly deliver items I sell unless other arrangements are made with the buyer.<br /> [*]I will promptly pay for items I purchase unless other arrangements are made with the seller.<br /> [*]I will not intentionally misrepresent the value of any item, and I will not take unfair advantage of non-professional customers, be they buyers or sellers.<br /> [*]I will take all reasonable actions to correct errors made in normal transactions.<br /> [*]I will not knowingly deal in counterfeits, copies, or reproductions without full and clear description of their nature. I will never knowingly represent such items as genuine.<br /> [*]I will not knowingly deal in stolen numismatic items. I will report such items to the proper authorities if they are offered to me.<br /> [*]<b>I will vouch for the authenticity of items I sell and will have no time limit on the return of items discovered to be non-authentic. I will offer a full cash refund upon return of any such item, including the cost of return shipping. </b><br /> [*]I will allow returns within a period not less than fourteen (14) days from the recorded date of shipping or ten (10) days following attempted delivery or receipt by the purchaser, whichever is the earlier date. This return policy does not apply to group lots, items advertised and sold &quot;as-is&quot;, items altered after receipt, or other items as specifically agreed upon beforehand with the customer. Mail bid or auction sales may have shorter limits.<br /> [*]I will explicitly state my terms and conditions of sale in my e-store.<br /> [*]I will not intentionally misrepresent items I sell, including the use of misleading images, historical conjecture, unsubstantiated provenance or pedigree, or other tactics that may artificially inflate the perceived value of an item.<br /> [*]I will operate in a fair and honorable manner, and will not intentionally defame the character of my competitors or the quality of their products. </i></li> </ol><p>This is standard policy for most ancient coin dealers worth a damn. If they sell on vcoins and they sell a fake and dont make it right...they wont be on vcoins for long...and they wont be doing business for long either as ancient collector are a close knit bunch...I have seen several dealer booted from that very important online selling resource for selling fakes and not making it right...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
