If you read big Al's description. Everything he is saying about other people or experts is really referring to his dad who started a coin restoration company and himself the alleged expert. The shop owner is none other than big Al himself. And the part about ..like his father before is big Al's old man and his expert is himself but talking in third person tense. So his ad really isnt a lie because he is talking about himself. And he never says he doesn't touch them or clean them in anyway just that he was told not too. The guy/big Al is a fraud and a liar but his dad was actually very good at restoring coins . Big Al uses vague terms to describe his coins and does not allow the buyer to have a true and informed info about any coins they buy because he doesn't describe them and uses lighting to hide defects. Technically he could be sued and would lose because of misrepresentation but it would cost too much upfront to hire an attorney though in this case the judge would probably grant legal fees.... I would love to see big Al's expert appear in court...I bet it would be big al himself Unless someplace in Ebay's terms and conditions sueing a seller is not allowed due to some type of arbitration clause
I think most intelligent adults reading this forum realize that the cinder block building in the photo wasn't built in 1818 and the endless stream of offerings from this seller didn't come from a safe found within. Buyer beware.
My thoughts? Are we supposed to buy a story or a coin? Who cares about the damn house and when it was built? If there are slabbed ASEs among the coins offered, then chances are close to zero that a) the seller is not a dealer and b) you‘ll find a “raw gem” and strike it rich
The $3 Princess looks fake to me. The lettering is too small, for one thing, and the "A" in STATES is completely out of line with the other letters.
