What would you do?

I was looking for a 1945 peso on eBay and found a really nice coin. When I looked at the certificate this came up:
I notified the seller (BTW I am NOT implying the seller did anything wrong) and decided not to pursue this coin. Some of my coins buddies disagreed. What do you think? What do @Numismaticcrimeinfo thinks about this?

I share your sentiments. I could not buy it in good faith.
I would have notified NGC as well and would not have pursued the coin.

If the item is in NCIC as reported stolen, then it needs to be surrendered or seized by l/e. IMO

If it was my coin that was stolen then I would hope someone would report it to the proper authorities and just not bid on it. Just my opinion, no judgements.
I wonder how much proof NGC needs to adjust the status - "reported" - maybe I'll start reporting coins I like in auctions so you guys don't bid against me
