    I run across their auctions often perusing the bay and I shake my head every time I see their photos. Tonight out of curiosity I clicked on see other items and all their stock is a carbon copy of this coin with different dates. How do you have over 60,000 sales and a seller rating over 99% with a inventory like this? The topper is this, they often get better sale prices than honest dealers do for honest coins!

    Old people who don't know any better or very new collectors who can't tell a polished coin.

    They must buy the brillo by the pallet and have a full time staff making "Red" submissions from the amount in their inventory... :eek:

    This is the place to buy if you want all your coins in a set to look the same.

    Buy it and return it.

    Or you could pick up coins wherever you can find them, and then put them all in your driveway and run your car back and forth over them a few dozen times.

    This Londonderry clown has been hawking these for years now on ebay and has most likely accumulated a tidy sum with these cookie-cutter colored cents. Yep, truly amazing that people gobble these things up. I bet he/she has several loyal customers whom think they are getting a great deal. Karma has a way of eventually taking these people(the seller) down. I do not like their odds for a long and fruitful life.
