<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4965091, member: 19463"]I believe it is the job of a bidder to read and understand the descriptions and the terms of the sale. If a word is used (perhaps tooled or smoothed) that is not familiar or if the sale is conducted in a language in which the bidder is not fluent, it is no excuse for a bid being placed based on ignorance. In how many languages do you know the words Fake, Copy, etc.? Further, 'problems' clearly shown in the provided photos are not to be the basis of complaint even if the bidder chose only to view them on a phone or while tired or drunk. We should complain when a coin is tooled, smoothed, barbarous, fake or broken and the faults are not mentioned but it is on us to read and understand the descriptions fairly written. I have seen copies (Beckers, Electrotypes etc.) sell for the price of a 'good' coin. I wonder if the buyer understood the terms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
