    I like the circulated coins that are not assigned grades.

    What would be higher than the INB PR70? Maybe crossover to an SGS?

    scammers

    This company from St. Paul Mn Is one of Ebays biggest ripoff scam companies. They purchase proof sets wholesale from coin dealers and they purchase regular snap together coin holders such as can be purchased from amos press in coin world. They have their very own label printer most every coin they slab will receive Proof 70 or proof 70 dmpl. The auctions typically don't bid very high however you'll notice 14.95 shipping. If you close 1,000 auctions per week @14.95 you make alot of jungle. The holders are labeled INB which stands for International Numismatic Bureau ....Sounds pretty impressive. I delivered some proof sets to there warehouse once and saw the operation...... I'll never sell to them again. Coins from estates? Yeah right. They just laugh at all the idiots buying on ebay. and even when people post negative feedback warning of the scams ...still new buyers. PT Barnum must be just laughing his head off....... But untill ya'll wise up ebay will remain a scam artists paridise. That said, support your local coin store were there are many knowledgeable dealers who will to help you collect and learn ablout coins.

    Oh my goodness. This has some of the best text I've ever read on e-bay. I guess not all the hollywood writers were on strike!!!

    My English teach must be rolling over in her grave. Please, can someone tell me what this means:

    "These coins are not found usually in circulation, as dollar coins do not circulate very much.... so if they ever did circulate you would have a hard time finding one."

    And they also say they are giving you the last Eisenhauer ever minted and then show a 1974 Ike. GOSH! I'm keeping my 1976-1978 Ikes. They should be worth a LOT since they officially don't exist!

    I stopped reading at this point.

    One of the better scammers on ebay. Look at all his positive feedback. You have to wonder how many people were afraid of retaliatory feedback and how that might change with eBay’s new policy.

    That is one of the biggest problems with ebay or similar web sites. Regarless of a few experts, such as possibly a few thousand on coin forums, there are virtually millions and millions of just everyday people that get hooked in on scams for such items. I just hope that in the long run such things do not distroy or ruin the coin collecting world.

    This is my fear as well. We all pay for these scams and self-slabbers handywork. If not directly then indirectly.:(
