<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cash Money, post: 1157370, member: 27315&quot;]OK, I purchase a lot of raw coins from Ebay. I like to take chances on blurry pictures and bad descriptions that usually discourage other bidders. A lot of you will think I&#039;m crazy for doing it but, I have a strategy. My top bid is usually the value of the coin in VG condition. I have scored many, many, nice coins for way under value over the years. Even those coins that turned out to be not suited for my collection were resold with good pictures and an accurate description for what I had in them. Until now I had never been sold a counterfeit but today it happened. I purchased a 1910 Mexico Cabillito Peso. These series of coins were struck with low relief so most examples lack fine details. It is also one of the older, more heavily counterfeited coins. I received it today and as soon as I broke it out it was obvious that this was a fake coin. I knew immediately once I saw the fuzzy details, numerous die cracks, and machine doubling. It also had a known diagnostic die crack under the horse. I contacted the seller immediately and he said to return it for a full refund. I&#039;ve already sent it back so I don&#039;t have a picture. His auction stated a 100% money back guarantee so I wasn&#039;t too worried. I haven&#039;t opened an Ebay case yet. He doesn&#039;t sell coins so I don&#039;t believe it was an intentional rip off but, I&#039;m wondering what kind of feedback he deserves. If all goes well I&#039;m thinking a positive with a description that the coin was counterfeit but was refunded without incident. Any thoughts? I guess I just reminding everyone to be carefull buying raw coins from anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
