[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1924468, member: 27832"]I've encountered cases of obvious, deliberate fraud where I went directly to a case, but yes, I almost always prefer to work things out with the seller first. If this is a "frighteningly good" fake, I'm beginning to wonder whether there's a chance I've misdiagnosed it. I'm fairly confident that it's failed the magnet test and the ring test, but I'm not sure I'm confident enough to throw away the several hundred dollars a legit coin would represent. I just figured that between those two, the weird surface texture and color, the overweight, and the odd features, I didn't have much confidence left in the coin. So, based on what I've posted here, is everybody confident that this [I]is[/I] a fake -- or do I need to take it or send it to an expert?[/QUOTE]
