<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 2745112, member: 17557&quot;]Now the argument is that we&#039;re picking on <i>little ole&#039; GSC who never hurt nobody</i>?</p><p><br /></p><p>Give me a break. Several of us in this thread have come together to explain that they&#039;re disingenuous at the very least, and that they have a history of torching new numismatists. It&#039;s best to stay away unless you&#039;re experienced, and even then, experienced collectors still stay away.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not some CoinTalk Old Guard Groupthink; we&#039;re not set in our ways and stubborn because of jealousy or some personal vendetta against GSC. The members of <b><i><u>all</u></i></b> numismatic internet communities despise GSC because of their business practices and reputation, and even with 99.8% positive feedback on eBay, their reputation is still not very good. </p><p><br /></p><p>In ten years of posting and reading on half a dozen coin forums, the posts on the past ten or so pages in this thread from only two members are the most pro-GSC I&#039;ve ever seen; as if the jury is not out on GSC yet. I&#039;m legitimately amazed.</p><p><br /></p><p>And another tidbit to throw out because perhaps people have misunderstood what either myself or Paul have been saying: in regards to GSC, we never made the claim that the coin pictured isn&#039;t the coin you&#039;ll receive. The claim we&#039;re making is that the picture itself has been taken and edited in such a way to conceal things that are more obvious in hand. Depending on how drastically this is done, it could appear that the coin in hand is nothing like the photograph, which is a claim that has been made with frequency from many collectors over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
