<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nextcoin, post: 2000540, member: 72440&quot;]The seller could have made an honest mistake by looking at the San Francisco address on the box and assumed they were proofs. But there is this thing about truth in advertising. So they have a measure of responsibility to represent the item correctly. In this case the sellers item description included the word &quot;Proofs&quot; but the picture he used was of a box that the mint uses to ship uncirculated coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The flip side of the coin (no pun intended), some buyers could take advantage of the sellers ignorance and open the box knowing only uncirculated coins could have been inside and then file a claim against the seller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course both parties have a responsibility to know what they&#039;re selling and what they&#039;re buying (caveat emptor). But because we can&#039;t read minds and hearts, I think the fair thing to do would be to say that both parties made an honest mistake and perhaps the seller could refund a portion of the price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
