Did someone get a deal on this killer morgan lot?

I was watching this lot but it was way out of my league for me to jump in. However seems like there are a lot of key dates (1889 CC, 1893 S, 1894, 1896 S, 1895 S, 79 CC, 93 CC and random 83O)
Did the buyer get a deal on this lot? Seems like there was a lot of meat left on the table.
Curious to hear more experienced buyers thoughts. Dealers as well.

All raw. None slabbed. No clear photos.
I'd say somebody got taken to the counterfeit cleaners.

 

Look at the sellers feedback record all I need to see and immediately say heck no!!!.

 

60% positive feedback? I've honestly never seen one that low. But I think the seller took photos of real coins. He just sends you fake ones.

 

Gotta be skeptical. I recently won an eBay auction for a circulated CC Morgan.
The seller sent a totally different CC Morgan than the one pictured....it looked questionable and weighed light. EBay refunded me promptly and with no fuss.

 

Yea, I've never seen someone on Ebay with a 60% positive feedback rating. It seems to me that eBay bends over backwards to give "moderate phlegm wads" at least a 95%. The "serious phlegm wads" get banned.

These are the type of coins that you examine with a 10 X glass, and spend some serious time and study before you buy them. You don't buy based on crappy "helicopter group photographs" taken from a foot away.

 

The 60% feedback is because his last two FBs were negatives, for not delivering on auction wins. Both say that he gave a refund, which means eBay would remove those feedbacks if he requests it.

The photos with the auction aren't good enough to make a call, but I don't see the usual tells I expect for eBay fakes. It was also an actual auction, not a BIN at a suspiciously low price.

Or... you buy, knowing that you can examine them with a 10x glass once you have them in hand, and count on eBay Buyer Protection if they don't pass. Selling fakes is against eBay policy (even though you wouldn't know it from active listings), so if the buyer protests, the seller doesn't have a leg to stand on.

 

@jeffB, who needs the hassle? Plus, if you are not an expert, you will need to send these coins in for certification. That gets expensive and time consuming. How long can you delay in the eBay buyer assurance plan? Can you go a month or more?

What if some coins are real and some are not? How do you get a refund for some pieces, but not others?

Do what you like, but I would advise most collectors not to take this route.

 

This exactly.
