mainer020648 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 5:24 pm I agree with Matteproof. 1936 Proof Buffalos, both Satin & Brilliant, are usually Full Details coins. This one is not. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 5:51 pm Sadly, someone will pay north of 500. for it. The seller sold an '09 silver eagle privately minted overdate for 192.50! I doubt he'll see any cash from it & his days are probably limited. Report this Post to the Staff
mainer020648 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 5:59 pm Not that it will do much good, but I contacted the seller through E-bay and told him I believed he was selling a buffed up coin. I told him a real proof for that year would have Full Details and that the head of the buffalo had no details at all and apparently he lost all the fur on his shoulder.

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 6:11 pm Yes, that won't help. I'm sure they will deny it. Have you reported it using the CCW reporting link? Technically it's an altered coin, especially if they are passing it off as a proof. What I like to do is wait a days after it closes and then report it. That way the seller already shipped and they are out both the coin and the money. That way they can't try to hawk it to someone else. Report this Post to the Staff
mainer020648 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 6:46 pm Thanks OldSkoolMadSkilz. I hadn't thought about doing it that way. I'll keep that in mind the next time. Report this Post to the Staff
