GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 12:21 am I recently purchased a 2011 Medal Of Honor Silver $1 Proof from a seller on ebay. The commemorative is a real stunner. The problem is it came with no COA or OGP. I read and reread the auction and no where in it did it mention that these items were not included. Nor, did mention that they were included. Normally, when I have bought or sold commemorates, mint sets, SAEs, etc.. the box, coa and other stuff that came with it is part of the deal unless stated otherwise. ie..coin only. I contacted the seller through ebay messaging and politely explained that I was happy with the coin. But, disappointed that the COA and OGP was not sent. I even offered to pay for them to ship the items. The reply I received back was: "I am happy you are pleased with the coin. The Box and COA were not included in the auction. Thank you for your business." If I had known that those items were not part of the auction I most likely would not have bid on it. My question is: am I wrong for wanting to have the COA, box, sleeve, etc? or am I just being too picky? Report this Post to the Staff

coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 01:45 am No you are not wrong...but I guess in the future if it does not say one way or the other then I'd contact the seller and ask.Now if you want a box and COA you will have to buy them. I hope you got a good deal on the coin though. I have bought a few because the coin was a steal. Report this Post to the Staff

No, you are not being picky at all. This is not some 25 year old commem that has bounced from owner to owner, this is a current issue commem(still on sale from the US Mint) so there is no good reason why the OGP has been separated already Report this Post to the Staff

GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 3:02 pm Considering that I purchased it at a savings off approximately $22 less than the US Mint's pricing, I hope to be able to purchase the OGP in the future and still have a cost savings. I suspect that a portion of them will be sent out for TPG and the OGP will be available for sale on ebay. I might have to wait a little while, but I think I will be able to get it. In the future, I will ask the seller if the OGP is include if it is not clearly stated. I have purchased numerous commemoratives, mint sets, proof SAEs, etc, etc, etc....over the past 8 years. This the first time the OGP was not sent with the coin, other than one I purchased that it was clearly stated that the OGP was not included. Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 3:26 pm Usually, you are right, the COA & the OGP come with the coin. As a matter of fact I am assembling a coin cabinet with a selection of modern proof commemorative silver dollars for my nephew as a wedding present, so I have been looking on e-Bay for such coins w/o packaging as they usually close cheaper than with it. I don't need the OGP since I don't have the coin, and he's not a collector so he won't care. Since you got it for $36/$37, I'd just be happy I didn't pay $65 or $70+ as the going BIN rate. It's a stunning coin, especially the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
GTALLEN Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 7:30 pm The coin is a stunning coin no doubt. I am pleased with the price. I just wanted to make sure that I was right to think that the OGP would normally be a part of the purchase, unless stated otherwise. Thanks for confirming. I will keep a look out for the OGP and if any of you all have it do not want the OGP, I would be glad to purchase it from you. Report this Post to the Staff
