Hoping someone can shed light on this. If you do a search on eBay for Morgan dollars, you will find a bunch that look exactly like the ones I provided pictures of. All three coins are from three different sellers yet all three have the same handwriting and similar descriptions written on them. It's obvious the coins have been in the same hands. There are actually four sellers with Morgans like the ones in the photos and all are located in Ohio. Having purchased a couple last year, I found the coins to have been over rated/graded and cleaned or even polished. So I reviewed feedback from other buyers, and this seems to be a common issue with these sellers. The coins I purchased went from being graded by them as GEM, BU, Proof Like to a measly 17.00/18.00 coin. I wont go as far as to name the sellers, but it's easy to figure out who they are. Does anyone have any information on this group of sellers?
It's not really too unusual for multiple sellers to market coins from a dealers inventory. Sometimes high end dealers will not sell coins that are not what they would consider high enough quality for their own eBay store and will allow others to make a few bucks selling them. I did this for a while myself. That may be what's going on here.
Although Kirk is correct, it's also possible for one seller to have multiple accounts. I have two, one for say Playboy magazines and such and the other for everything else.
Either that or its the same person with multiple seller accounts, which they can use to bid up their other auctions.
The handwriting on the third example is different from the first two. I when people do the "++++++" nonsense.
I think you right regarding the 3rd example I listed but the same seller of that coin has a bunch that are identical to the first two.
