OK... My worst eBay win. I just received it in the mail today.
With proof coin sets ordered from the US Mint you get a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Well in the 2003 silver sets there was an error on the COA. Sets were mailed out of the mint for 2 days before they realized their error and put a hold on all orders till the new COA was printed. To each customer they sent a new and correct COA for each set and a 'Letter of Apology'. (I got one)
Well I saw an auction for a copy of this letter, so placed my nuke bid at $4.00 and won for 3.75 + 1.00 shipping. Well I should have taken him literally. I received a 6 cent photocopy of the letter... a bad copy at that!
We do have a happy ending though....
me: Off went my email (not happy)
reply: I clearly said copy of letter, return it for refund less shipping.
me: Thank You It will be mailed tomorrow. To me a copy of the form letter means the real thing on US Mint letterhead.
reply: Forget it keep the letter, save the stamp and I'll paypal you refund.
me: Thank You
received refund on auction AND shipping.
again.
