Thank You Silvertowne...a Auction Story

I go through these periods when I get obsessed with bidding on coins via proxybid at various auction houses in the US. September through December I was buying pretty heavy and purchased through several coins at many different auction houses. With a coin auction almost every day, Silvertowne was a large market for me to bid with a lot of nice coins, with fast and reasonable shipping. One auction I bought several raw coins, mainly CC Morgans. When the coins would come in, I would quickly examine them and put them away.
About a month ago I wanted to clean up my collection and decided to liquidate a large amount of coins at a local show through a dealer I have done a great deal of business with. So, this dealer was going through several coins and comes across this 1882 CC Morgan. He took a look at it and said "you know this is fake...right". The dealer knew I wasn't trying to slip something in on him, so I replied honestly with "no". On the reverse of the coin between the IGWT and the motto at the top, through some heavy buff marks the word "copy" was underneath. I took the coin put it in my pocket and dwelled on it until the following Monday.
That Monday I searched through my auction invoices until I found the auction where I purchased the 1882 CC...which was Silvertowne. You can imagine what was going through my head, so I immediately emailed the auction address and explained the situation, hoping for any kind of resolve. A few hours later, I received a email that stated to ship the coin back for a refund. I believe Silvertowne has a 3 day inspection period for all auction purchases. So, I really did not think this would float being 4 months after the fact. Nevertheless, about a week later, I got a full refund for the amount of the auction.
To sum it all up. It was a shared responsibility I believe for the mistake. Certainly, I felt it was my fault because I did not look at the coin close enough upon arrival. I really feel as Silvertowne would not have sold a fake coin if they had noticed it was a copy. I was very impressed that they refunded me the full amount spent on the coin four months after the auction. They could have very easily have taken the easy way out.
I wanted to share this positive experience with Silvertowne as they have earned some respect with me. I also was reminded that I need to inspect my purchases more thoroughly, no matter who it is from.
