The Window Shopping Thread

LC sells on eBay and I once won one of their auctions (I may have posted this before) for the matte Kennedy half.
Coin arrived in good time but was clearly low end for the grade (69), so I returned it for an exchange.
Got the replacement in due time and was satisfied with it.
So I'd have to say that, customer service-wise, they do a good job.
Price-wise (in their ads) they are too high.
But I am still on their mailing list and get their catalogs all the time (prices WAY too high, IMO), which make great bathroom reading.

That was fast! Someone snapped it up!

 

I hate coins cleaned this way. Looks like the old rock tumbler clean. Washes out too many details. For $8 a coin, might be ok for a telemarketer or something.

Ruben, I do know where you can get decent group lots of Judaic coins at times. You can PM me and I will let you know about it.

 

I thought it looked good, see what I know. The lettering was clear and the coin centered.

 

The single coin looked fine, and you are right centering and full flan are issues with these. I was referring to the group lot. Many problem coins and they appear cleaned with a rock tumbler which lessens details.

 

Well, thats good, because the single few away as soon at I posted that message ---- whoosh

Window shopping is like going to a museum without the Museum shop.

 

Caz, how would you grade it?

How do you know that? I don't see that information on his website?

 

It is on the website. Isadore Goldstein with a PO Box at 11210, which is the Post Office on Nostrand Avenue near the Junction.

 

The coin shops don't even let me window shop, just because they have to clean up my drool eveytime.
