<p>[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 41569, member: 1779"]Well, I looked over some of his auction; I'm a Morgan type, so I looked at them first, then looked at some of his coppers and Walking Liberties (didn't go through all 400+ lots). Then I looked at his profile <a href="http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=tuesdaynightcoins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=tuesdaynightcoins" rel="nofollow">http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=tuesdaynightcoins</a> . My overall impression is that the guy is a little loose with his grade estimations of his raw coins, over-values his lower-tiered and non-tiered slabs, doesn't have very much negative feedback (only three of 5309 which is quite good), doesn't want to spend that extra 15 cents for an image of the reverse on many/most of his sales, presents very poor(read: mostly none) descriptions of what he wants me to buy, looks like he may Photoshop some of his pictures, tends to be a bit abrupt about his selling, return, and shipping terms, and may or may not lacquer, polish, whiz, dip, or otherwise alter some of his coins, but I don't think any of them are fake. He certainly overstates the values - take for example this 1942 Proof: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39457&item=3964633316&rd=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39457&item=3964633316&rd=1" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39457&item=3964633316&rd=1</a> ; he presents no description at all, calls it "Premium Quality", but it's got a big fat fingerprint on what may be a polished or dipped obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I happened to look at one of his Morgan auctions a few days ago.
