What do you see as the most easily identified points?
Yeah, I had someone send me a $50 AGE with no signature confirmation. I didn't ding him on DSR or feedback -- heck, he saved me a trip to the PO...
I paid $134 for a 1921 Morgan and 6 Barbers, $4 face -- that's more than twice melt at today's prices. The Morgan's worth whatever a lightly...
Thanks for the reassurance, everyone. :) Any thoughts on whether that abrasion's enough to take this out of MS contention? (Until I saw that and...
I've encountered cases of obvious, deliberate fraud where I went directly to a case, but yes, I almost always prefer to work things out with the...
My other recent eBay gamble was this "Silver Coins Lot From 1865,1929,to 1941". It had a blah 1941 Merc, a blah 1929 SLQ, and a... well, a shiny...

Did I miss a photo somewhere? o_O
Bullion dealers who operate on narrow margins can't afford to take risks. If he wants to stay in business, he can't take items he's not sure...
...and, in this case, you would have missed your shot at a nicely-detailed counterfeit Barber. :rolleyes: But that's a topic for another thread.
Sure, they can -- but when the coin arrives, and it isn't what was pictured, eBay Buyer Protection offers you a nearly bullet-proof guarantee that...
Again, placing a bid on an item conveys information to other bidders. By sniping, you can keep your cards close to your vest. If you saw an...
I thought -- in fact, I thought it was common knowledge -- that you could redeem torn or damaged currency for new, but that you had to present...
It's possible that someone plated it or rubbed it with mercury, and that most of the surface alteration has worn off. It's not possible that it's...
"Less than face value (not including shipping or fees)"? I've bought for less than FV before, given those terms. I'll bid what a lot is worth, and...
