I purchased a lot of 16 silver coins from a seller, these were world coins but mostly 3 and 6 pence (aussie) mid 1940s in pretty good condition. I wanted them to finish filling up a roll. There were a few token silver coins besides the pence that were going into the cull silver stacks. It seemed like a decent deal so I snatched it up. Shipping was quick so I was happy. Until I inspected the coins... What I received was a bit different than what was listed. Instead of getting 16 silver coins like I thought I was getting it was 10 silver mid 1940s 3 and 6 pence coins and 3 copper nickel coins. I tried conversing with the seller to see if it was just an oversight. No mistakes apparently, I read the listing right but I interpreted it wrong, the part of the listing that said "silver" only meant the color of the coins is silver, so it's on me that I assumed the coins were made of silver since she had it described as "composition - Silver" with pics of all silver coins. Can a seller actually use that as a viable excuse to block a refund attempt? This is the first time I've ever seen such a blatant lie by a seller. It makes me think that the seller had this excuse waiting in the wings. How can you trust a seller after that? I hope enough buyers see this warning so it doesn't happen to them too.â€ƒ
