If you read the actual feedback, the problems associated with this seller become readily apparent.

Furthermore, there are reports that some of their coins are counterfeit and even reports that they don't honor their 30 day refund period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, they have had 37 negatives in the last year with 31K positives. That is a higher rate than my 1 negative per 1K and when you add in all of the neutrals they have, it is even worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, my lone negative feedback was related to a gem bu Mercury Dime that I sold. The coin had album slide marks on the obverse devices. They were visible in the photo and I included them in my description of the coin.

Additionally, they have had 37 negatives in the last year with 31K positives. That is a higher rate than my 1 negative per 1K and when you add in all of the neutrals they have, it is even worse. Btw, my lone negative feedback was related to a gem bu Mercury Dime that I sold. The coin had album slide marks on the obverse devices. They were visible in the photo and I included them in my description of the coin. The buyer negged me because the coin didn't grade problem free at PCGS even though I disclosed the problem at the time of sale. A far cry from the shady business practices of GSC.[/QUOTE]
