[QUOTE="squaredealer23, post: 592457, member: 17426"]I bought some coins from this website [URL="http://www.collectorsinternet.com/"](www.collectorsinternet.com/[/URL]) last year as I was just starting to get into collecting. You buy coins by the grade--they claim that they do so much business that they don't have time to show you pictures of the individual coins. The prices seemed good for the grade, so I bought some walking liberty halves and some buffalo nickels. To my untrained eye, they looked pretty good. But I took them to my trusted local dealer for his opinion, assuming he would praise me for getting a good deal. He showed me that all of them were cleaned or wizzed. The halves purchased at MS 63 were really just wizzed XFs. I was really disappointed, embarassed, and felt ripped off. It was a difficult and lengthy process to get my money back but I did (perhaps only because I am a lawyer and let that be known in my emails). Their policy is to charge a $5 per coin restocking fee on returns, to discourage returns. I got them to waive that as well. I have learned a lot in the past year and but still have a lot to learn. It's a shame that there are so many dishonest dealers out there. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with this company.[/QUOTE]
