Out of curiosity, I just looked at the seller's inventory. I couldn't care less if what they're selling is authentic or not. The listed prices are on the extreme high-end of retail pricing. Some are listed @60-90% above what I would calculate as avg. fair market value.

I understand that dealers need to make a profit and that sellers are free to inflate their prices.. or (as I see it)price-gouge uninformed buyers. I personally view it as insulting, and I wouldn't even entertain the invitation to make an offer.

There are plenty of other coins in the sea.

My personal opinion is that better deals (even when considering BPs, additional fees/shipping) are to be had at public auction -- where true current market value is usually established by relative demand.

If a person is looking for a specific type (and not wanting to spend lots of time constantly browsing auction catalogs), by all means support reputable dealers if one feels that the (likely higher) retail price is fair to one's own wallet.

The cliched advice applies:

Shop around, compare prices. Become an informed/educated buyer, and...

If it's too good to be true...

CAVEAT EMPTOR

 

due to COVID19 its my right to get rid of original package in safety of my family

 

that coin already should be a RED FLAG

 

If you noticed .. all of his coins have same appearance aka same style , like it was done by same person ( what do you think ?)

 

sorry , but i think you need to study more .. horrible knowledge

 

Richard you need to open your eyes wear some glasses and read the thread again from the top ..

 

Feedback on ebay says nothing anymore, 'Ancientground' (https://www.ebay.com/str/coinauction12) is notorious, with almost 18000 feedback and 99.8% positive. He gets those feedback by selling low-grade legit ancient coins and in between sells a lot of fakes everyday, especially silver and rare bronze. His fakes are quite obvious but somehow it keeps fooling many people.

I am just saying it in general to everyone, not anything about that Australian numismatic company.

 

case update - i was able to get my refund back through PayPal , since it was dilevered back (w/ tracking info) to the seller , now the case is closed in my favorite

and the actual process took me about 40 min to get my $$$ back , thanks to everyone & stay safe .. Happy Collecting !!

 

Glad things worked out for you.

 

thanks for your support !!

BTW do you collect HW Redlines ?
