Just good enough to fool a few poor suckers. Was it underpriced?

I paid $38.89, since it was in a slab I did not look at as close as I normally do. lesson learned

I know that if I were the seller - and didn't realize I was selling a fake - I would not honor a return on a coin cracked out of a slab. How could I know for sure the coin hadn't been swtched?

How long ago did you buy it? If recent enough that ebay still has the listing information what are the pictures from the ebay listing / auction. |

Thanks NSS - Take a look at the 'Item specifics' it clearly states 'ungraded' and 'uncertified'  |

They also sold the same fake May 9th and May 16th (as well as to you another one on May 16th).

update, I decided not to return the fake, the seller threatened to fight the refund since the slab was broken open and ebay agreed, since I did not return it, no refund, I have disputed the charge on my credit card, no word back. I figured since the seller sold two just like it, he would try and resell this one if he got his slimy hands on it. keeping it as a reference |

You should leave a concise negative feedback for the seller.
