I think the lesson to be gained from this is that even larger dealers make mistakes. In their auction of October 1, they posted a RARE 1842 Zs 8R which sold for $59. It too is a counterfeit - one listed in Riddell. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...67660&src=pr In that last case, I had spotted the coin and wrote to Heritage to warn them a few days before the auction closed. They never replied, but since I won 6 coins in that same auction (real ones) I will follow up and see if they plan to offer a refund. As a counterfeit - one listed in Riddell the coin is collectable and worth at least $35 - but $59 plus fees is a bit high. Edited by swamperbob 10/04/2007 09:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 10/04/2007 10:50 am Bob, I was the winner of that Zacatecas piece (as well as 1827 Guanajuato one). It being a counterfeit was the only reason I bid on it. You know how I like those hand-cut eagles ;) ~Roman Edited by TwoKopeiki 10/04/2007 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 10/04/2007 10:55 am Bob, about the 1792 piece - I just remembered something. That was the year with "dot over mintmark" variety, but since I don't have Calbeto at work - I can't compare the legend positioning, letters / numbers. If it's a variety, perhaps the "92" can be re-cut, as well? I'll check Calbeto tonight. ~Roman Edited by TwoKopeiki 10/04/2007 11:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
