<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 1425619, member: 24410"]As explained in another thread, those ratings do not mean anything. The seller buys problem coins, cracks them out and sells them as non-problem coins. At least two that I have found (purchased from Stacks) were cracked and then cleaned after he bought them and he makes no disclosure of the fact in his auctions. I think this has a negative impact on the hobby and I choose not to do business with him. Some people might disagree but like I said; it's my personal opinion about the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I would also like to add that I have no problem with him cracking out coins, I don't even have a problem with him disagreeing on some of the "problems". But there are just too many for it to be a "disagreement" between him and the grading company. It would be a completely different matter if he listed the problems in his listing but he does not, implying that they are solid coins. It is my belief that the seller is intentionally trying to deceive collectors. I only wish I would have done more research on his other listings before I bid on this coin, saving both of us the hassle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
