This person has tons of bids of his or her items, which go for high prices. Do you think these coins for sale by this person are all genuine and as described? This person's auctions amaze me. They seem so risky raw.

that doesn't mean they don't have some bad stuff in the mix that was missed.
a word that's been used a lot lately... baggy looking morgan and 64 to my newb eyes seems too far of a stretch for that coin. seems real. hard for me to tell if it has been dipped or not. someone else will have to clue you in on the coin.
I do think some have been overdipped and or cleaned. But, he seems to have some nice stuff as well and he
does have a return.

His 1886-o that he sold a while back (I did not bid high enough!) was a killer E reverse.
I am amazed at the prices these auctions get, but that does tend to confirm
my belief that auctions that start at 99c tend to get high final sale prices as
bidders stay involved.
The grades or comments on the holders are excessive. Many coins
are cleaned.
They have sold over 4000 coins in the last year. 99.6% positive rating.

Way to smear a seller with unfounded innuendo.
Seller has tons of + feedback, there's absolutely no reason to come here and question his/her auctions.
I'm Joe. It would be a pleasure to serve you if I am able and am sure most of the guys here would love to assist you. Your private message function is "off".

The OP stated that the coins seemed "risky" and implied that they might not be genuine or as described.
To me, this smacks of negative innuendo.
The OP could have just as easily inquired simply what we thought of so-and-so's coin and left it at that.
For all we know the OP could be a competitor of the seller and trying a dirty trick to kill sales.
Sorry if you don't agree but that's the way I see it.

He didn't imply that they were risky, he asked if they were risky. This is the place to ask questions in order to learn. Based on review of seller's feedback appears coins are risky.

the guy is asking questions. nothing wrong here.
In-hand is the only completely accurate way to determine if you want to pay the asking price of a coin (provided you know the series).

Asking if a slabbed coin is graded correctly, or even just nice, is not the same?

Well of course they do!!! It logically brings in more bidders and legitimizes the auctions. Doesn't make the coin(s) legit.
More often then not, most of the winners do not know/care/or want the hassle of going thru the refund/return process.
Some of these comments are totally whacked. In the last week I have looked through 3 different brick and mortar old time dealers raw dollars. It was rare to find one that did not have a problem, and all of them marked just fine. Now the foolish ones who venture in to buy those coins are much worse off than someone with internet and a forum and eBay. Sorry, just the way I see it.
Why do some old school dealers hate PCGS? Well, I know 3 in the last week who would have a 90% fail rate on there good coins.
