    Genuine coin. Buyer either does not know what they are talking about or is trying to get a refund and keep the coin.

    Looks quite real to me and a nice-looking original coin. After a few more forum members chime in, send him a link to this thread. He may just have a case of buyer's remorse in which case you should just take the coin back and refund him his money.

    Question is, what doesn’t look right to your purcasher that would make he or she think it’s a replica? Looks genuine to me. Sometimes the coin just has that wrong look, this one doesn’t. He’s wrong.

    If they try to scam you send some screen shots of this thread to ebay.
    I think that coin is genuine.

    It looks genuine to me. My grade is VF-35, a near miss from EF.

    OOPs! Maybe more of a VF-30 now that I see it on my desk top.

    Genuine coin in VF condition. If the buyer wants to return it just make the refund, block him and move on.

    I don't see anything that would make me question its authenticity

    definitley genuine

    buyer most likely trying to claim counterfeit to get an instant refund, make him return before refunding.

    had a guy do that to me on ancient, claiming fake, I contacted ebay and told them he needs to return for full refund. Being I am not knowledgeable on ancients, I submitted it, came back genuine,

    Absolutely genuine!

    "make him return before refunding"

    And then block him from bidding in future auctions.
