Definitely not genuine.
There's no example, in my experience, of any German minted coin with a mint mark (in this case "J") as large as shown here.
Also, gave it just enough damage to make you think it's old. But the German Empire didn't come into existence until near the end of the Franco-Prussian War (January 1871) - well after 1813. And there was never a Wilhelm V. |

On April 1 I purchased a cool, relatively inexpensive set of Moldovan coins from a seller in Moldova.
On May 8 I received the following message from the seller:
"...Your order has shipped 8, May
Order shipped with ground post service to Europe, than with cargo or charter flight to destination, because due the war in Ukraine air post service in Moldova to most countries still closed. Delivery will take more time that usually...."
Friendly enough, and I have no problem with longer international delivery times, especially since the seller has good feedback. But...
1. Why did it take 38 days from purchase for my coins to be shipped? (If my coins come I'm actually not too concerned about this - everyone has issues they're dealing with.)
2: USPS and Canada Post are not identifying any postal delays for Moldova. Given the war in Ukraine I would expect postal service from Ukraine to take longer. But this seller is in neighboring, peaceful Moldova. His statement about the war in Ukraine raises eyebrows because I purchased a coin from a seller in Ukraine 18 days AFTER my purchase from this seller. That coin arrived on May 9th.
I messaged the seller with my concerns, without reply. I'm willing to wait it out, but just in case....I want to clarify: what is my window for opening an INR case?
From past experience, long ago, I want to say that the window is 60 days from date of purchase, however, a Google search identifies 30 days from the last date of estimated delivery (which is June 15). I haven't opened an INR case in years, so wondering if in the meantime eBay has changed their policy on this issue?
Thanks for any clarification. |

This evening an ebay buyer left very non-specific neutral feedback for a coin he purchased from me weeks ago. Normally a neutral wouldn't bother me too much, but then I had a look at his feedback history....
Since opening his account in 2004, the buyer has left a total of 32 feedbacks for others. Of those 32, 16 (50%!) have been neutral or negative!
I've blocked him. My advice, protect your accounts and do the same: hjdavids

Fifty states, fifty sets of rules. Plus some international (non-US) destinations are now charging buyers tax as well.
I've heard that AZ charges sales tax on internet sales, but when I've shipped coins to my AZ address I'm never charged tax. Only on other items. If I ship to my CA address, I'm taxed on everything.
This is from the eBay website, regarding sales tax in the US. Rates and laws regarding specific categories of items are not listed:
"There are currently 46 jurisdictions where eBay is obligated to collect and remit to the respective authorities for marketplace transactions.
Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
District of Columbia
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Puerto Rico
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia

I've seen some sellers add their user name to the photo, presumably to prevent this exact scenario.
Adding a user name to a photo can be done quite easily on a Mac using iPhoto or Preview - not sure how difficult it might be on a PC. Not sure if it's worth the time/effort - maybe for higher priced coins. |
