[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1578345, member: 29643"]Does anyone know how Great Southern Coins (GSC) is able to achieve significantly higher closing prices on their items than other sellers on eBay? I was looking up 1941 s/s Half dollars, and noticed this: Numismatics2010 - $55 greatsoutherncoin - $225.33 vette1986 - $48.50 (claimed UNC, but it looks like it was probably actually a XF grade coin) The third coin was clearly overgraded, so the price didn't surprise me, however the N2010 & GSC coins appeared to be about the same grade. Also, N2010 actually showed a close-up of the S/S, whereby GSC didn't. Mind you, the winning bidder for the GSC coin had very low feedback (46) and 63% bidding (out of 42 items bid on) rate with GSC items. Normally, I would think pictures were the reason, but GSC's pictures are actually worse in this instance.
