I just checked my order status on a 1861 quarter eagle I bought on ebay that I had sent out to anacs. It states in the grade box N9 which I read as questionable authenticity, altered coin. I will post pics of it when I get it back, but my question at the moment is do they tell you their reasoning for an n9? Thanks, XoG |

TPG normally don't call out a coin as counterfeit to avoid legal hassles. Questionable Authenticity is a politically correct way to say fake. Altered is another matter. Please fill us in when you can. |

Well the packing slip says it was a struck copy, it sure looked real to me.

You should be able to get a refund through eBay/PayPal. It is a very good copy. ANACS said it was die struck and from the looks of it, it's likely got a high gold content also. |

how would I go about getting a refund? should I contact the seller or ebay itself? |

I would contact the seller first. If that doesn't help contact ebay/paypal or whoever. Just be prepared to prove its the same coin though

I would have thought if it was a struck copy with out saying copy on it they would call the ss like it says they will do on there website.

The exact wording on the packing slip states- Coin-Comments:Not Genuine. Struck Copy. As you can see from the pics in the ebay listing above the words copy cannot be found anywhere on the coin. -XoG |

What it probably is is one of the counterfeits struck in the Middle East back in the 1950's and 1960's. There were a LOT of them made. Quote:
