<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sonoran Monsoon, post: 1814427, member: 44580&quot;]It is not Ebay that you had a problem with.&nbsp; Your problem was buying raw coins over the internet.&nbsp; Raw coins really need to be seen in hand before purchasing, otherwise you are at the mercy of the sellers opinion on grade or condition.&nbsp; This is why third party graders really caught on.&nbsp; It provided a safer way to buy coins over the internet, without having to rely on the sellers opinion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are wise to choose only PCGS or NGC, as their grading standards are generally accepted as the tightest and most consistant compared to others.&nbsp; Although, if you are looking at Morgan VAMS, you may want to consider some of the older ANACS slabs, as ANACS was the only company that slabbed VAMS for the first few years.&nbsp; (just remember they may cross to PCGS or NGC a point or two lower in grade).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Heritage is a great alternative to Ebay for the higher grade Morgans.&nbsp; The final selling prices are generally lower than you will get from Ebay &quot;buy it now&quot; listings.&nbsp; Keep in mind, there is a steep buyer&#039;s premium added that may make purchases of lower priced coins less than feasible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am a big fan of Ebay (the term flea-bay always rubs me the wrong way, as I feel it is a completely undeserved term.....but that is a different conversation).&nbsp; I have bought a lot of coins from ebay sellers over the years, and as long as the purchase is for PCGS or NGC coins, everything turns out fine.&nbsp; The best prices usually can be achieved in their auction listings, as opposed to the BIN listings.&nbsp; Ebay has done a great job cleaning up their site from bad sellers over the last few years.&nbsp; <b>Just stay away from purchasing coins raw over the internet.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
