Perhaps initially Morel had thought there existed a 41mm medal and when the 51mm come along it created some confusion?

The auction house won in the Disputes Tribunal. The article is a good read and a good reminder to be vigilant at all times.
The Herald story made it into Wayne Homren's weekly international numismatic news roundup on Monday - so Lipscombe's name is getting nicely tarnished globally as we speak. But yes, bidders should make the effort to know what they're bidding on, regardless of errors in the description (innocent or otherwise ...)
