I'm talking about telemarketers and Ebay.....their main focus is U.S. coins and probably MSD's. I see your point, but unfortunately it's not the...
Because ancient coins aren't the prime market for counterfeits, U.S. coins are when talking about coins sold to Americans and on U.S. online...
Would love to hear from a professional grader or a long-time expert here with their thoughts........
I'm not an expert in grading by any stretch even though (somehow :D ) I got this one pretty right. I wonder if the RARITY of a coin makes them...
Paul, check out the coins here: Here's the 1907 Extremely High Relief:...
Wow, I "guessed" MS-62. That's scary that I could be in the ballpark ! :D Isn't this a flat rim, though ? The field comes up and there's a very...
The guy is a scammer, for sure, but why would you: Do that much business with him at once ? Not wait for a small purchase or two to be received...
Ice, not only that but the auction houses themselves and the buyers who use them are so savvy and smart that you would be hard-pressed to sell a...
Thanks Rhein.....glad you liked them. Yes, please feel free to show your Saints/classic gold here, too. The glass cover holder is made by...
Coins must be a big part of Ebay's volume and total items sold, no (not sure how to check, maybe in their 10-k) ? I would think that since they...

Some of my gold coins I've acquired throughout the years. I'll start off with my classics and add moderns that I've acquired over time. Here's...
Good post.....if you deal with a few people regularly, can you eliminate the search problem by having them contact you directly for future sales ?...
I have also found out that if you contact some of the sellers who are too high on a price for a particular coin and ask them if they will accept...
Weird.....they're obviously trying to protect the buyers from a very loose-grading or fraudulent TPG. However, they have folks with dozens of...
I'm a bit confused on this "Details" thing: (1) I submit 2 coins, they look identical to the naked eye and pretty close under 5x. But one has...
Are they hedging against an EXTRAORDINARY move in the price, or the everyday fluctuations ? It seems more the latter. That costs money, and I'm...
Excellent point....the ease of Ebay -- and the Internet -- in making information available to the masses and facilitating the sales/purchases of...
So you didn't get your $$$ ? You don't get paid until the return period expires ? It reads like Ebay gave him the refund, but I presume it was...
