<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1996762, member: 27832&quot;]&quot;I don&#039;t always buy rare high-grade US overdates, but when I do, I buy from sellers in Estonia.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I often recommend going through with purchases like this, then using Buyer Protection to get a refund; they generally don&#039;t require you to return counterfeits, so you get your money back, you prevent the seller from passing the coin to someone else, and you get an example for your own &quot;black book&quot;. With the ongoing changes at eBay, though, I&#039;m not sure how long that protection will remain reliable, and it&#039;s getting to the point where I&#039;d be uneasy tying up hundreds of bucks in a known fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you, I&#039;d <i>call</i> eBay about this. Their phone reps can often clear things up more quickly and directly than the online dispute process. Be sure to emphasize that the picture clearly doesn&#039;t show an authentic coin, and that you&#039;ve confirmed this with several numismatic experts.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t get the seller or eBay to cancel the auction, I&#039;m sort of torn between taking the NPB hit and buying-then-contesting the coin. I&#039;d probably go with the latter course, but as I said above, I&#039;m growing less sanguine about that approach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
