<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2808223, member: 87737&quot;]In frustration, I bought a bunch of Washington 25¢ from him, since he had them at fair prices, in the grade I was looking for. I&#039;m really happy with each of the coins, and his shipping was fast. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think every coin seller on ebay is looking for an edge (which they should), so the &#039;better date&#039; thing doesn&#039;t bother me. If it says it&#039;s a &#039;rare better date&#039;, but it isn&#039;t, and you as the buyer pay a huge premium for a &#039;21 Morgan, then that&#039;s on the buyer, not the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one that gets under my skin, like [USER=73983]@jtlee321[/USER] , is the &#039;Estate Find&#039; listings. There is a particular seller that every single one of his listings is an &#039;estate find&#039;. I don&#039;t care that it came from an estate sale, it sounds like you got it at a garage sale so you paid close to dirt for it, which makes me wonder how it was stored over the years (although it isn&#039;t that important), and, I don&#039;t believe that every one of his coins were an estate find (ie, I don&#039;t trust what he says). I always scan right past his listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>My preferred are the seller that just say what the coin is, and maybe a grade assessment. I&#039;ll grade it myself, but at least it&#039;s a guide. Those sellers don&#039;t seem to call every coin the same adjective, which gives me a glimpse of what to expect if I click on it. Every seller that uses the phrase &#039;nice coin&#039; or similar thinks all of their coins are &#039;nice&#039; when in fact, their typically worn out or damaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that&#039;s just me...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
