<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JVG814, post: 67960, member: 3912&quot;]Heres some tips straight outta the U.S blackbook 2006.</p><p>Maybe if i use italics and quotes i wont get sued....for as much.</p><p>&quot;<i>Leading the potential customer to believe the coins are more valueable than they really are&quot; Watch out for auctions stating how coins sold. i.e an auction selling morgan dollares worth $15 will be selling them for $50 and stating things such as &quot;Morgan dollars have sold in the past for more than $20,000!! L@@K&quot;</i> </p><p><br /></p><p>Showing fake sympathy is also a telltale sign like lines that state &quot;i just want to get people into numismatics because i love it&quot; &quot; I just love selling coins&quot; or the ever popular &quot; I got ripped off probably 50 times and finally said &quot;&#039; Thats it im starting to sell coins&quot; just like an estate just popped up in their basement at the exact moment he &quot;had enough of it&quot;. </p><p>That was mine so i didnt have to use quotes! ha!</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Implication that the coins offered are in some respect &quot;&#039;special&#039;&quot; even though the same specimen can be found at a local coin shop in the same or better condition&quot;</i> </p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Failure to state actual silver content&quot;</i> </p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot; Creation of gimmicked names for coins other than their real numismatic phrase. Such as calling kennedy half dollars &quot;Kennedy half eagles&quot; in an effort to promote and glamorize a coin that doesnt hlod that much value.&quot;</i> </p><p><br /></p><p>Also watch out for coins not in a slab or coins that seem to be graded by the person advertising it.</p><p>This is reffered to as &quot;Slider grading&quot; or increasing the grade of a coin your self. When a coin cannot squeeze past AU-55 it is AU-50, Yet people auctioning on ebay will give it a Slider of AU-55. Try to really take a long gander at the coin at hand to determine, is this really MS-60 or AU-55.</p><p><br /></p><p>Deal with someone that has a high feed back or has been at ebay for a while,</p><p>this isnt a guarantee of a good seller or a reputable source of coins, but it is a point in his favor, possibly two or three points&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .</p><p><br /></p><p>Dont expect the impossible. like a VDB for $100 or a Morgan dollar at MS-60 at a buy it now price of $10.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, </p><p>Sorry Mr. Blackbook, but really thats like 1 1/2 pages of a 620 page book.</p><p>Actually Mr.blackbook should be paying me to promote his book. Cheap skate</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
