When someone lists a "rare" coin with no return you know it bad

1853 no arrows no rays quarter

This is definately an altered piece. The seller knows it.
This kind of stuff is always described to imply that it may be authentic, but with plenty of wiggle room for the seller when he gets called out for selling a fake or altered coin.
Always that "no return" or "all sales final" crap on these kinds of items.

    The serifs are off on the date
    You're right, its altered. At least he says its possible in his text. I'll give him that,
    but this kind of junk really sucks.

  • Here's where he got it, and it looks like "Krappycoins" wasn't being all that honest in their ad.

    Edited: I do feel sorry for this seller paying over a hundred bucks to Krappy for $12 worth of coins. This is an example of Ebay buyers greed.
    The bidders on Kraps auction had to be thinking they were getting a rare coin for cheap.

    The seller has started the auction at $1.00, has mentioned his doubts about the authenticity, and has stated there are no returns. This is the beauty of Ebay; true auctions where the bidders have all the relevant facts and the marketplace will determine the price.

    This is what Ebay was meant for for IMHO. Just too bad that many sellers omit many material facts from their offerings. This auction leaves no room for any excuses by the bidders, as the seller has honestly laid out his terms!
