email sent just a minute ago I am a little pi---d as I can only go off there listing info copy of email sent below Hi I have purchased a lot 1969 in your last action it was described as a trial from the ram used prior to minting .I have found that you have sold this coin as lot 1584 auction 307 previously and your description then was "a tv prop" that sold for $75. I purchased this coin based on your description and take your descriptions in good faith. In this case I feel I have been misled with your description of the coin as it has been sold by your company previously with a very different description. The link to your prior auction is http://www.downies.com/aca/auction3...gue_061.html After you review this I am sure you will agree that the coin is not as described when I made the current purchase and therefore request a full refund on return of the coin. This is as per #14 in your Terms and Conditions. Thank you and look forward to your reply, Regards, Shane |

response from downies
The original description was incorrect. The current description in our last auction is correct , hence several bidders trying to buy it..
The company stands by this description...
Kind Regards,

If that's the case, then SURELY there was some documentation of this that they depended upon to overcome their initial information. And they would be able to supply it to you...

If the description of the item has changed then you might as well go along with it. Gather as much info as you can, be it from downies or where ever. Use that info when its time to re-sell, as they stated there are other bidders. Here's a link to a PDF with your coin on it if that helps or not... http://downies.com/aca/PDFs/315/Auc...ession_4.pdf |

Shane,
I suggest that you contact the Ayres at Canberra Numisco and see if they have any information about such a supposed minting.
Cheers

The other bidders may also be explained by others also believing the description provided. I don't think 'other bidders' really adds credibility.

..Who's trying to add credibility? Just pointing out that the coin can be sold again, even at the same auction if need be. The credibility is already damaged. |

Pennyman007,
I was referring to the response from Downies (not anything anyone else said). They are trying to add credibility to the item by saying 'other people were bidding too, so it must be a good item'.
I was just pointing out that other people may also have simply believed the description which is now in question.
Sorry for any confusion.

If they have documentation that caused them to change their opinion then share it. Otherwise, just because several people believed your lie doesn't make it the truth...

Ah, look on the bright side Shane, in comparison to a normal $1, you probably won't need a loupe to look at this one!  |
