[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26259244, member: 86815"]I dare say this company has been featured before but I couldn't find a post. I have just read a book about a particular shipwreck and the coins recovered and wanted to find an example. A google search led me to this outfit where they had an example at a really great price. I considered buying it but when they advertised free shipping to the UK for an obviously underpriced coin I realised it was a scam. On searching deeper, it looks as if this outfit uses fake advertisements and other sites images to steal data. It took me about two minutes to realise that if it is too good to be true it usually isn't but I thought I would make a post to alert others who may be taken in. They feature prominently on Google, and have a great website, but from my research the address has been hijacked from a bona fide coin dealer. This is the coin I was looking at.

If you were really stupid, they also list the identical coin for $255 if you wanted to be conned more enthusiastically![/QUOTE]
