Not the first time this seller has tried to peddle that altered/damaged coin.

I guess the guy is just looking for a sucker. In todays economy can you really blame the guy for trying? He never said this is legitimate coin variety and just says unique.

I go to a highschool that specializes in law and I'm taking a couple college law courses from Vincinnes and Harrison. So I am no proffesional and I don't know about Canada's law involving fraud. In my opinion if this was tried in America he could have the chance at getting off the hook so to speak. This is because everything he says is true. He states that it is 100% authentic silver dollar, which it is. He also even says that the mint never produced it, so that is sort of an inlayed message. There are other things, but these are just the main ones that I could see. That is just my opinion though.

Now how could anyone pass up that deal when there's free shipping?

I feel sorry in advance for the sucker who will eventually fall for this enticement's hook, line, and sinker.

For the record:

I exchanged emails with the seller, offering him high-tech analysis equipment and expertise (not MY expertise - something that I don't have) to check the coin. We could check if the surface had contaminants and check the composition of the coin. The whole she-bang would cost him shipping and handling.

The seller was pretty much interested in knowing how much I would be willing to offer for the coin. I replied saying that it would depend on the results of the analysis and that modern patterns don't sell for the price he was asking.

The seller never accepted my offer.

Nickelsguy, if only the CCF crowd could see the irony of that statement...
