I'm sorry, you misunderstood me- I am sending it back, I just wanted to see if anyone had any final thoughts on the whole situation or any more similar stories...

That would be different, if my intepretation is correct. In that case, the buyer had all ready made an "effort" to enter into a transaction with the seller- proven by the fact that the coin was ordered. So if the item arrived was different than what was ordered I think it would be exempt.
Let's say the buyer bought his 1893 morgan from the seller. The transaction in completed. A week later an 1893-S morgan shows up in the mail. The question is- would that now be free?
I think someone summed it up nicely by saying that it MIGHT be technically free, but ethically it would not. I am an ethical person, so I have returned the coin. But I will admit, for a short time there I enjoyed pondering the technicalities. However, as fun as it was I knew that in the end I would send it back.
There is a California statute to the same effect as the federal law discussed by Verdicus. But, I agree with Russ. Send the damn thing back or pay for it. Life is too short. In a hundred years from now, nobody will even remember your name.
