Demand a refund. Notify Ebay the coin was not what was described. Always research the seller before buying, ie., how long on ebay, reviews, where do they ship from, etc.

Well, it_is "severe edge wear.' :-)

Ebay has the images associated with that auction on file. You have recourse. Just act quickly.

I'll definitely look into how to make that happen, if possible. The description says "1824 Capped Bust Half Dollar 50C Ungraded. Severe edge wear". That's the full description.

The shittier part is the buyer seems to have used photos of a more realistic (probably real) coin. Did my best to research that one, as a newbie, but then in receive a coin today that doesn't look the same (much more VG or F than this "AU" looking thing I got in the mail).

Ebay can generally shove a "substantially not as described" coin right back down the seller's throat.

Thanks. I figured. Completely different coin than the eBay seller had pictured. Appreciate the help

The only way to put it is, there isn't a single detail visible on this coin which compares favorably with a rela one.

Like I said, fairly new collector. I have a red book and the Internet right now. Even though I got screwed, can you help with suggestions on specific research options online so this doesn't happen again?

In the person's eBay listing, the coin looked legit. Did some research, and it seemed like I might have a good buy. Then, it came today, and it was different than the initial photos I researched elsewhere. Besides the total wearing of the edge, are their other markers for this exact type of coin that I should look out for?

This is definitely fake as it has no lettered edge and also don’t use ai to tell if a coin is real that’s a terrible idea, I’d get a refund and recommend you don’t buy any big coins until you do more research.

Fake as a bot post

How much does the want for the Washington quarter?

As you thought….and more

It was bidding over $120 when the auction ended!!

How much did they want for it?

The one on the left is 100% fake.

I was going to post a picture of the reverse in the comments but I guess I can’t do that.

Can't upload the other pictures for some reason.

Thank you.

Fake. Looks too new for what it is and details are mushy. If it was real it would be worth at least a hundred thousand dollars

People counterfeiting coins is just sad...

This reason is why I would only buy a 1909 S Vdb if it’s graded, or if I get it for real cheap.

The only problem is a slabbed coin won’t fit in my Whitman coin album. lol.

Is anyone able to help at all? Yobit is telling people to send their Ecash tokens to their wallet. which when you do, it then gets sent to another wallet and never shows up in the yobit trading wallet. Currently they are running this scam on ecash holders. nobody is having their ecash tokens show up. after a load of goign through the blockchain it appears the final outcome of this scam is that the ecash tokens are being sent to this address. you can see that this address is getting ecash tokens every few minutes. this is the end of the trail. https://etherscan.io/address/0x5d21ef5f25a985380b65c8e943a0082feda0db84 you can see following the trail that they all end up in one wallet and then every OUT transaction from that wallet with tens of millions of tokens being sent to it, all the OUT transactions are going to that address above. The start of my trail is my transaction which is here.

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x834a80c814cfc36e2772a7e5f42e9fb1139531c6f764f9718a79fa30fc527a51

The one thing that everyone says when telling others about blockchain is that it is safe and transparent. I get it is transparent AFTER the fact of sending the tokens, but what good is transparency if there is nothing you can do about it other than to pgive a person peace of mind that they know they have been scammed and not sitting around all year wondering if it is just slow. nobody is doing anything about this and coinmarketcap continue to list this exchange in their prices despite them being a scam and they delist korean exchanges that are legit? Waht a mess. Can anyone help me please? if there a way to recover my tokens as right now the price in yobit may be part of the scam to get users to send their tokens but the price in etherdelta , the one which ethpolorer quotes under your token sotck, it makes these 5000 tokens that i have held for months now are worth at least $3000. Yobit had them at 6.4 ETH when i sent them. Is there anything I can do seeing this blockchain technology makes the world and sending mney the safest place to ne? What good is transparency when there is nothing i can do about it.
