Buyer bought 2022 Proof Silver Eagle PCGS PR70

[4pawsup*]

So i sold a 2022 PCGS Silver American eagle proof 70 deep cameo. Customer pays and i print the label send a message to the buyer the coin will ship on Monday. So about 2 1/2 hours later i receive this message.

Hello, I purchased this coin from you and I have a question.
So the U.S. Mint said they did not mint any 2022 Morgan and a 2022 Peace Dollars.

Was this 2022 Morgan minted by someone else. Please advise

Have a Nice Day

I actually thought this was a joke but he was serious. I know some of you will not get it but oh my to funny.

Besides all that- why does the title of the most recent sold say 2022 yet the picture shows 2021?

Why does the 'details' say it has 1 oz of "precious metal" (per unit) but also states the 'listing has 12 oz' 'total' ??

That was a special listing i made for one customer at his request that purchased 12 coins at one time.

I  not did bother putting the specs in because he knew what he was buying

Totally agree, if a buyer already knows what they're getting, who cares. In any case, you do those listings how you do them, no right or wrong way ... I'm just going to share how I approach those listings FWIW. I base how I create the listing upon how comfortable I feel with that buyer. If I've had enough time to talk to them, I'm generally not worried, especially if its cheap I go light on details ... if its expensive and i dont know the buyer well I make sure to detail out the listing so they don't have glaring things to point to and claim NAD when it's a listing for exactly what they asked for and the glaring things are listing errors.

Generally though, my basics are....

-Title the listing "Private Listing for: (Insert Buyer Username)"

-Either put pics of actual item(s) or use my profile pic as a "filler"

-Drop most item specs if I don't feel like including them "correctly" or put the least necessary item specs

-Description is generally as brief as possible.

Description on my end usually refers the buyer to the messages where we already discussed the item, or if I'm pulling items from 5 separate listings and creating a bundle, I simply refer the buyer to the individual 5 listings for all item specifics and reference this is merely a bundle of said 5 listings.

i'm able to throw those listings together extremely quickly, my goal may not be to add every correct detail but my goal is to drop all incorrect info.

I'm ROFL right now. Omg! I mean, I've had some sad questions, but that's a whole new level. 

My favorite story to date:

Buyer wants a 2008 Clad Proof Set. We get to talking, I'm a chemist and buyer apparently is a chemist too. Buyer's smart, right? Hmm...  Buyer wants to buy a proof set ONLY if you yourself got it directly from the mint and not 2nd hand. Why? I quote "how can I know those are REAL AUTHENTIC proof coins? How do I know someone didn't swap them out for Uncirculated coins? I would need to pay PCGS to authenticate and grade them for me to know they are real".

... It goes on ... The buyer then went on to say "The US Mint produces the coins and includes a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY! They have to CERTIFY it! When I am at work in the lab (remember, chemist) I have to CERTIFY I have sterilized something. I have to sign it and put serial numbers and everything and attest to it! How can I know the coins are authentic? I need to know that the set is 100% ORIGINAL. The coins are authentic and the COA goes with THAT set."

she was ADAMANT that each COA goes with each specific set. I didn't dare ask her to show me the serial number on the COA to match to each set and each coin. Like seriously? Show me how you prove that COA goes with and certifies THAT coin. 🙄

Of course, then you have the buyers who all know more than you do. You know, the kind that buy TONS of coins and know everything there is and are "EXPERIENCED" ... they then complain their eagle they bought isn't burnished because the box says UNC and not Burnished. Or the 2010 US Mint set sealed in the original brown box is counterfeit because it says U10 but not "2010 US Mint UNC Set" ... they then proceed to argue til their blue in the face ... my favorite thing to ask or tell them is "find me a single example that shows what you say it should" .... "find me any burnished eagle that says burnished on the OGP box" or "find me any 2010 UNC Mint set Brown Box with that label"

Ugh 🙄 if you have a question, ask your question. Don't start by accusing me of trying to scam you, that will get you nowhere.

Thank you for all the tips. My eyes are tearing after reading the story about the chemist. My wife came in my office she thought something was wrong i was laughing so loud. Thanks for that

Too many red flags? Heck, too much of a PITA! Of course blocked w/o a 2nd thought.

i recently blocked someone for submitting a best offer that was well under 50% of the asking price... i work on a slim margin as it is... that's someone who would return at my expense if there was a speck of dust on it...
