Mohawk Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Well....it can be hard to tell a genuine coin from a fake without having the coin in hand as there are some very deceptive fakes out there but, from what I see, you have a genuine proof 1996 Silver Eagle that is impaired. It's not the prettiest proof ASE out there, but I'd say it's real based on the photos. I think what you actually have is a buyer with a case of buyer's remorse......as I said, it's not the prettiest proof ASE and the buyer may have been willing to live with the coin until they actually held it in their hand. Selling off-quality moderns can be a tricky thing and there's always that risk of buyer's remorse. I hope this helps! ~Tom Edited August 28, 2018 by Mohawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew sch Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 thank you very much for your input Mohawk . the buyer fully knew what they was buying they was sent over 15 diff photos and 2 videos. and like i said i bought it from silvertowne a big time player in the game and i bought it in person because i only live 6 miles away so i really dont seeing it being a fake there whole argument is the spacing between the 9 and 6 ? thats "how they know 100% its fake" but from everyone i have looked at online from jb and ampex ect. the spacing looks spot on to me the bought it knowing exactly what the condition was and only for 8$ over spot even tho she looks BAD i have seen worse sell for more just due to it being proof and a 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
