  1. I had a somewhat similar incident on ebay. I sold a coin and shipped it tracked and signed for. The buyer told me that they had not received the coin and that it had obviously been either stolen en-route or that I was acting fraudulently and had not shipped the coin. I had provided him with the tracking information and informed him that it had been signed for 3 day previously. He informed me that the name of the person that had signed was nothing to do with him and that he had not received the coin. The name on the tracking was one letter shifted from the buyer name i.e. a typo by the postman. This went on for several more days with his accusations getting more inflammatory. I emailed him the signature, with the date and time which showed that someone with his surname had signed for it. It turned out that it had been taken in by a family member and it had been put aside but they had not told him. He had started escalation to ebay for a refund but then reluctantly withdrew this in the end.

    I am trimming down my collection to allow me to focus on my core collecting activities. I am selling off several hundred coins that I have accumulated over the last 25 year that are no longer core to my current collecting focus. I guarantee that they are genuine. I am based in the United Kingdom and combine shipping and shipping is actually below my costs. Feel free to contact me if there is something that is of interest to you. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/penterry_mart

  9. My worst purchase was in my relatively early days of collecting where I bought a coin (BuyItNow) of Valentinian from Highrating_Lowprice (Ilya Zlobin). It turned out to be zapped (electrolysis) and worn and worth a fraction of what I paid. A lesson learned. I don't think I even bothered to My best purchase is probably the following:- Septimius Severus denarius Obv:– IMP CA L SE SEV PER AG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– FORT REDVC, Fortuna standing left, holding long scepter & cornucopia Minted in "Emesa", A.D. 194 References:– RIC -. BMCRE -. RSC -. 3.17g, 18.54mm, 0o This coin was being sold as a contemporary imitation. I knew it was an obverse die match to a coin in the Doug Smith collection. I managed to buy it for US$ 7 shipped. This started a 25 year interest in a sub-series of coin from this odd set of shortened obverse legends. As an example I haven't managed to obtain an example matching the Doug Smith coin but have managed to obtain several other reverse dies linked to this obverse die.
