More ebay counterfeits

Bought some Panama 1934 one balboas this week, got them yesterday. The obverses looked OK, but the reverse's standing figure had a sort of cartoon face. They flunked the PMV tests, and when I weighed them they all weighed 19.5g, should have been about 26.7/26.8g. I raised the flag with ebay, soon thereafter got a return shipping label and sent them back this am. Don't have any way to take pictures, you would have enjoyed the reverse with its bug-eyed face. Obverses were realistic though.

What was the auction number or seller ID?

I would think it would be reasonable to give negative feedback in this case, maybe neutral if you get your money back from the seller.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
