<p>[QUOTE="NotSure, post: 784772, member: 20034"]Good point, and accurate info in regard to RESTRIKES. Bottom line, if you paid near bullion price, if YOU like it, then you can't go wrong with the yellow metal. Though, keep in mind...with C2C, they have ALOT of negative comments from past buyers (myself included). You might be able to do better on the 'bay, but then again, #1 rule of thumb, be VERY cautious when buying raw gold on the 'bay (most would say to never buy raw gold on the 'bay, for very good reason).</p><p> </p><p>If YOU like it, and it's real, you could very well be one of the few buyers of C2C items that didn't complain, or have to send it back. I tried them a few times for 'BU' Morgans, and they looked like very high XF-mid AU at best. Most of the BIG advertisers sell sub-par, overgraded POS. By big, I mean those that take out 5-6 pages of ads in CoinWorld and Numismatic News...Simms is another that takes out mega page ads like C2C. On the other hand, there are also VERY good sellers that take ad space, such as CRO for example. With Simms, I bought a GEM BU '31-S Lincoln, and GEM BU '11-S Lincoln, paid fairly strong money...both came back cleaned from PCGS. With alot of b**ching, I got my money back, but was placed on their 'DNS2' (do not sell to) list. They HATE when someone returns items. </p><p> </p><p>Be very wary of them, but if you had good luck with C2C, which you seem to have had, more power to you, and enjoy your purchase! Regardless of what I have said (I'm QUITE sure others can chime in and give similar testimony), if your purchase makes you happy, then more power to you...you are in the minority, but there are always exceptions to any rule!! Congrats!</p><p> </p><p>Forgot to add...I do like your purchase, and I have a 'thing' about their merch, but again,, I do like your newp!!! Congrats again!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
