Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 133778, member: 2761"]As for my ebay history and all...I have ONE name and one name only: Zakgold which I have been a member since 11/6/03. I remember joining eBay back in early November so I could do some online Christmas shopping. My first item I bid and won? A Bose Wave table radio. The first item I sold? My ex-wife's Precious Moments ceramic "dolls" that somehow ended up with me!?! That is when I started looking at other items and sure enough, I found coins. Matter of fact, I bid on two Aboncom items on 1/24/04 (1988 Lincoln PR70 and a 2003 "faded" three PR70 Lincoln) and yes, I even left positive feedback for them.  I took them to my coin guy and he laughed me out of the store. Still not deterred, I took them to a coin club and the SAME thing happened to me! Upon investigation, I found out Aboncom was slabbing their OWN coins and that set me off!  When I questioned them months later, I was emailed blocked and let's say...the rest is history. So, I am Midas aka zakgold...nothing more that got taken by Aboncom/SGS and who has tried to make sure "newbies" to eBay and numismatics DON'T make the same $50 mistake I did back in January of 2004 for these two SGS coins. That, as Paul Harvey would say, is the rest of the story...[/QUOTE]
