Note the slab was not clearly shown to the public. The Judge examined it. The seller stated he never said it was MS-65, that is what the purchaser said. The coin was a 1915 $20 Gold coin in a slab but as the judge stated, not a certified slabbed coin. The seller did hint the coin could be worth as much as $20,000 and the purchaser wanted it for and got it for $2,600. The courts expert, Mr. Gans was called to authenticate and grade the coin. He examined the coin and stated Ms-62/63. He then produced a pricing sheet that stated $810 in -62 and $1.750 in -63.
Ever note they never show the complete swear in on that show but in his case they did including "So help me God"? Mr. Ganz was asked if he ever met the Judge before and he stated no. She asked for his expert cridentials and he stated he was the president of ANA, colected for 45 years, wrote many articles and books on coins. He was also a co author of the book on grading the purchaser broght to court. The judge asked if he had anythng to do with the State Quarters and he said yes, he influence that system.
The seller noted his add said Money Back Guarantee for the date, mint and Gold only. No grade was mentioned.
Eventually the seller took back the coin and had to return $2,000 to the purchaser. That is all the state they lived in was allowed for a small claims court rulling.
Odd that out of all the coins minted on Earth, the judge only asked about the State Quarters. Odd that it just so happened the purchaser brought a book co authored by the expert.
One more item mentioned was the seller has been thrown of ebay but he stated it had nothing to do with this sale.

Well, everyone on here pretty much summed up the episode. I was wrong, it wasn't a self slabber (I assumed this since the promos made it seem like it was). I think this was the first time the show was actually brought on there own expert for a case, so I thought that was interesting. Other than that, I thought the case was a little bland. I also thought that the seller should have won, because from the evidence that they showed on the show it didn't indicate the exact writing of the add. I understand why the judge felt that the seller breached the contract by misrepresenting it. But I don't know whether that was her opinion or if the ad said "This coins is a MS65" and mentioned nowhere that it was his opinion on it, etc. I'm going to try to get a video up in the next week.
