      I would say that someone is going to learn a painful lesson, but most likely, it will just go into their collection and they'll never know.

            That is why a lot of people get away with selling garbage and have good FB.
            Most people put it away or by the time someone tells them it's fake it's years later but they give feedback the day they get it.

            If someone is smart enough to notice they got a fake right away the buyer probably says send it back for refund because they know they'd be forced to by a SNAD if they refused and still they don't get a negative FB.

                Ouch. Makes me wonder how things like this go, does it get returned, sent for grading, sold off to the next unlucky buyer.

                  Maybe the buyer collects fakes and needed it to complete a set If the buyer gets it graded they will find out!!!

                    Interesting that the page is not visible anymore after only a week! (I was trying to refresh my memory on what the "coin" was. Guess I'll never know now.)
                    Maybe that is an indication someone at the bay realized it was a fake?

                          Ha, no, that was a different thread. This was a 1909S VDB, but it was a fake. The font on the date was not a match.
