Help Verifying A 1955-P DDO?

I would love to see the ebay listing if you wouldn't mind posting it.

First two letters of his ebay name are right on in my opinion

You should be able to place a claim almost immediately and choose "not as described" Give him appropriate feedback as well. Don't sugar coat it, so others can avoid the same scam artist.

In the claim state that you had the coin looked at by a group of resident coin experts and it is in their opinion that this coin is not authentic, and possibily a cast/copy/duplicate of the original.

Probably an Alibaba coin. It's counterfeit, no doubt about it. Don't let him get away with it or he'll get more.

he seemed to write up the ad as if he didn't know what it was, allowing individuals to "take advantage of him/her" and, should there be a claim against them, simply plead ignorance or like they didn't know any better. If a person knows the "poor mans' doubled die" reference, they should know the difference.

You never know if people like this have a production line down in their basement. They sell junk but have top of the line merchandise locked in their safes. Like a judge will probably say, ignornace has no bearing on the law. They get paid via an electronic chain of evidence, provide pictures, emails and writeups under their own free will knowing that the item they are about to sell is unethical and potentially counterfiet and seem comfortable with it. They live the high life until the Feds halt their happy times and then, adapt to the life of wearing orange for a while. =\

I suggest waiting until the coin arrives, to see what he actually sends. I like copying the pictures of the coin in the ebay ad to my hard drive so I can compare to what comes in the mail.

If it doesn't look like an orginal 1955 DDO, open up a case, ensure you choose "not as described" as I posted earlier.
If the seller tries to send a "cancel" the transaction, decline it. The devious ones know that a transaction that is cancelled does not allow you to leave proper feedback. ebay then typically will not get in the way, unless the refund takes forever or the actions between buyer and seller go sour.

The "product not as described" is an automated feature and ebay will not intervene unless it takes longer than a set amount of days. You CAN call ebay and start the process over the phone, and a live agent will document the case.

If the seller mails you a counterfiet coin, they are subject to mail fraud in addition to other potential charges. Its up to you how you want to handle this, but, much like many other collectors - people don't want a fellow collector to fall victim to this guy - or any other - that appears to do unethical practices.

Scratch that last post. It was listed as a double e die. A poor mans double die. C'mon! Really? That wasn't any clue?

Poor man's double die, authentication? Looks like one of those 4" castings painted brown (look at that banana nose)! I'm glad you are getting your money back Ocala - but you may want to slow things down. You've come a long way in a short time, but this isn't a race unless you make it one. Find a safe pace for yourself and keep your $$ for yourself. Too many out there willing to sell snake oil.

thought it was all over but just got one more msg from the guy he said all this 3 times now... He already refunded me... notice he cant even spell the word real... and he keeps on mentioning destroying the coin...

"i called a coin dealer in allentown pa I'm going to take it there tomorrow see what he thinks if he say it is not reat I will put it on railroad track let a train flaten it"
