Please define "coincidence". Maybe, like many other words, the meaning has changed. :dodgy:

For this seller to make the following statement in each of his listings & then list the exact same coins already sold for sale again using the same photos is misleading to say the least. :dodgy:

"Authenticity Guaranteed! (All of the merchandise we sell is guaranteed to be authentic.)
Be assured that the coin you see is the coin you will get. The pictures are not just examples, but photographs of the actual coin for sale."

I hope none of the members here have purchased from him.  You've got no way of knowing what you're going to end up with, if anything.  Checking his FB, I wonder how come one seller has so many gold coins sold and for sale.  Maybe they're not what they appear to be.
