eBay seller elliottdoug215 has sold me a counterfeit seated liberty half dollar, and they are mad about the return request. Attached are pictures of the coin i received, screenshots of the listing photos, and their message to me.
It looks like an obvious fake. Why did you buy it in the first place?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Important that you get eBay involved. Those selling fake/altered/cleaned coins can become quite irate and intimidating when someone calls them out on a particular coin. I thought the "S" mintmark was not crisp, but blotchy/blurred.

eBay is involved. I'm expecting the seller to do anything they possibly can to make it more difficult, though.

File a claim and return it
I should have known better, yes. I rolled the dice based on poor photos.
The return has been started, I'm going to have to ask eBay to step in, the seller refuses to take responsibility.
Way cool 😎
(Excellant call)
