sorry to hear about this sumorada, i've been slapped as well from ebay sellers.
BTW is there a site where you can view proof or mint sets and their original packaging from earlier years to use as a refrence so us less knowledgable buyers (like me) can compare before we buy.
<< <i>Just for perspective, this fraud has been around since at least the late 1950s. Packaging was opened, one or more inferior coins substituted and the thing resealed. Ebay just makes the crooks, counterfeiters and fraudsters much more powerful. >>
...or ... that much closer to criminal prosecution.
How small of an amount has to be bilked from how many before such behavior is no longer considered "petty" ? After all, it's not like a guy can't make money the legal way with a good eye and savvy business skills in this hobby/business
End of my rant, RWB. Thanks for a platfrom from which to express my views.
