Do all buyer-funded Lealanas display 'BUYER FUNDED' on them?
They were supposed to. With the ones I bought from him Smoothie did not ship till they were funded. I don't know if he was 100% strict with everyone.
I have said it before a few times in the forum but:
Do you know who produced the holograms? and how many were made? and if they are all accounted for?
How difficult would it be for a dishonest person at the printer to print out an extra roll of holograms, then buy the funded coins, peel & copy the private key and paste them back on and sell them?
How much time / work would it be for a dishonest person at a grading house to get a roll of the holograms printed for all the popular coins and then peel / copy / re-apply as they come in. With a few exceptions [like the one that started this thread, "because it's doge, never going to be worth much"] none of my funded coins have been anyplace except from the maker to me. That is my level of risk tolerance. YMMV. And even that does not make your funds safe. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/info-breached-or-scam-coin-makers-list-3315347
