<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1372788, member: 36230"]The fact is that this seller uses images that both hide flaws yet makes the coin look good, even great to the untrained eye. The achieved prices for almost all of their sold merchandise is most likely the result of shill bidding. Spend some time and look at bid histories to decide for yourself. Beyond this, common sense dictates that this seller simply has too many better coins that are raw. I highly doubt they are simply old school and are anti-TPG like a handful of other older dealers. Considering the huge percentage of obvious problem coins that are raw, it is likely that they buy detail/genny coins on the cheap, crack them out to sell as their "gems". This is not a coincidence. Just to be clear, although I've never - nor would I ever - bought from them, I do have a couple of customers who have. Thus far 100% of the coins acquired from them that I've seen (approx. 10) have been, without a doubt, problem examples.</p><p><br /></p><p><u><i><b>caveat emptor!!</b></i></u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
