Hello from South Africa Chris! Welcome to the network
Interesting to meet a (former/fellow) South African here!

Numisman,

Did you try to get your money back?
The 1799 that I bought from her, did not show scratches in her ebay pictures.
She did not want to refund the money, so I assume that was a counterfeit, too.
What was wrong with the coins?

Regards

Bon

Thank you Chris,

I bought the coin April 07, & showed it to a dealer who said it was cleaned so I could not send it in for grading.
I am going to file a dispute with my credit card & I will call the Secret Service on this.

Since I have given her the benefit to make this right, & she has not,
I think that jail is a distinct possibility for her.
The other coin, the 1799 $5 that I got from her, looked like this one, with scratches, & may be counterfeit, as well.

All of that will come out in an investigation.

I have seen her selling so many capped busts on ebay.
I refused to buy any more from her after I had to fight to get my money back on the 1799.

Ebay will have to give the Secret Service the names of all who bought this fool's gold from her.

She would never show up for small claims court if she is not answering my emails, but her address is posted on the net if you do a search.
She owns a home.
Regards

Chris, Did she tell you this?
What kind of coins were they?
Did you post this on her feedback.

Regards

Bonnie

Chris,

The weight of the coin is about the correct weight.

Chris,

I am writing the letter to the ebay legal dept this weekend & letting them know about all of the Capped Bust's that I saw of hers, on ebay, in the same slabs.

A year or so ago, I bought a 1795 $1 as a replica, because I wanted to make a money clip out of it.
It weighed the same,
Looked the same,
The edge's were correct, as well.
It did not have Replica on it, as is required by law.
I took it into the local coin dealer, just to see, & he weighed it, & thought it was real. He said that the fakes did not weigh the same.

I told him it was phony.
(I had gone there to sell some bullion, which I needed to sell to carry on with my Indie films.)

So you see, until PCGS came out with the Genuine slab for cleaned coins, No one would have found out about this.
All of her Capped Bust's, in these slabs, that she puts them in looked cleaned.

I think that once the Fed's get involved, they are going to find that I am not the only one.

Yikes!

Thanks for the input.

Regards

Chris,

Having wondered how she could possible have so many Capped Bust's to sell, I hope there are not other victims out there who have not sent the coins in for grading because they looked clean.

I wonder if my Chateau Rothchild Wine Bottles with the Picasso Labels, are fake.
Just kidding.

Chris,

Having drank the best wines ever, by joining several wineries Wine Club's, I cannot bear to destroy a bottle of wine like that.
Not being a snoot, I like the Rhone wines, specifically the Chateau Neuf du Pape's, & think that I may post those wines on ebay.

Time to sell them, & put the money in coins.

They have appreciated enough for me to be able to make a little on them.

Regards

Bon
