<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BufNickel, post: 1961987, member: 71669&quot;]Chris,</p><p>I thank you and all the others who replied as this was the intent to see how many out there are thinking like me. Yes, I will approach the dealer/seller and confront him with the details and will hope all will be settled in one easy step. The purpose of the post was to see if others had any other approach as I believe it is absolutely necessary for individuals to speak out and learn from all how to get the best results from an unfortunate matter. The sale was conducted at a flea market so the eBay issue is out as eBay does provide some governance to keep the peace between buyers and sellers. And, we can all hope that just the human decency would suffice in approaching another to ask for money to be returned. In this case, I am not certain the seller will be honest. In truth, I wanted to sell this coin on eBay and started to research and found the problem and unfortunately the coin was purchased about 3 months ago and I am unsure this person will show up at the same flea market. Fact of the matter is that I did not immediately research the coin as soon as possible and yes, this would be a lesson to me, but my venom comes out in why we have to be so on guard and never take our eye off the ball. Why do we have to take on every possible new purchase with a bit of distrust?</p><p>Ok, again thanks to all, I will attempt to contact this individual and ask for funds to be returned; and yes, my followup will be a cautious approach to ANA.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am pleased to receive all these suggestions/opinions....it gives hope for the survival of this interesting and fantastic hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. For grins, I am posting the 1800 Large Copper Half Cent to close this discussion. Note the REVERSE is Style 2 that came to be with the minting of the 1802 Half Cent. Yes, if I was &quot;on my game,&quot; I would have passed on the purchase and I would not have taken others time to comment; but again, many, many thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
