Hoo-boy!!! He's gonna love that one ... I know I do

ajaan · January 31, 2005 8:09AM

It may be a Cnut penny.

farthing · January 31, 2005 8:56AM

I think it's kinda Cnut too.

Aethelred · January 31, 2005 8:58AM

It does have that "funky" look to it Ajaan, looks cast.

Here's the story on this coin. I bought this coin off of Harlan J. Berk's website on Dec 8, 2004. I sent it to ICG for authentication and grading. ICG returned the coin as being 'not authentic'.

I'm surprised this one got past him.

ajaan · January 31, 2005 11:50AM

I sent HJB an email telling them about the ICG opinion. So far no response.

I'll be waiting to see how this turns out, I had a problem with Berk about two years ago and they never took care of it, didn't even seem interested. I wish you better luck with them Don!

I hope they make good on it.

I don't wish that even on an Arsenal fan. Sorry to learn of this, Don. I hope it gets fixed pronto.

Don,
I hope they will do the right thing.

ajaan · February 1, 2005 9:07AM

So far no word from HJB.

How long has it been now?

python · February 1, 2005 11:02AM

Did ICG give a reason?

Aethelred · February 1, 2005 11:14AM

I have never seen this coin in person, but to me it looks like a cast copy, notice how soft the details look.

coinkat · February 1, 2005 11:16AM

I would be alittle disenchanted to be politically correct if they refused to take the coin back... especially if it was bought in December. I am sorry and I hope this saga has an acceptable ending.

Received this email from Harlan J. Berk Inc. today:

Dear Mr. Rupp,

Any Coin sold by us as authentic is guaranteed by us.
Please send back the coin that we sold to you. We will send you a complete
refund including your postage and grading fee if we made a mistake.

Thank you,
Alex Moulinos

I give them high remarks for re-imbursing me my grading and shipping fees.

Very classy of them. They must like you too.

ajaan · February 2, 2005 5:36AM

Obviously I meant 'high marks'

spinaker2000 · February 2, 2005 5:39AM

glad you are getting this taken care of Don.

Aethelred · February 2, 2005 8:22AM

I am glad to see that this issue is being resolved for you!

coinkat · February 2, 2005 8:32AM

glad this had a good ending... and I agree that paying for the grading costs was a classy thing to do as well as the postage.

wybrit · February 2, 2005 8:41AM

for standing behind what they sell.

python · February 2, 2005 12:04PM

That's good news. I sure hate to think that they couldn't spot a cast coin.

ajaan · February 7, 2005 11:16AM

HJB gave me a full refund today; cost of coin, grading fee, and shipping.

wybrit · February 7, 2005 11:19AM

ajaan · February 7, 2005 11:21AM

Hey wybrit, what do ya think of this one?

spinaker2000 · February 7, 2005 11:49AM

gonna save any money for Hawaii Don??

farthing · February 7, 2005 12:14PM

I don't know about Wybrit - but I really like it!

wybrit · February 7, 2005 9:45PM

I like it, but Terry has a good question there.
