    If you like it, then enjoy it.... Looks as if it has spent some time in commerce, as intended. Then put away, probably an album or coin chest with felt lined drawers. Cheers, RickO

    Nice coin.

    I hope seller and buyer can resolve the issue.

    unfortunate.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    It is sad when personal accountability is discounted to name-calling those who are reminding the seller of his obligations and ethical responsibility.
    It is doubly sad when that seller chooses instead to blame other entities and cast dispersions on members here.
    Not surprising in this incident, just sad.

    ...and very pathetic that the seller deleted the original post and photos (not sure why) and changed their signature line to a lame disclaimer about the USPS.

    I can't call him what he really is or I'd be the one getting banned, but that should give you an idea.

    I also see that they've set their profile to "private". :|

    "NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR USPS MAIL ISSUES"

    If the OP drives without insurance into oncoming traffic due to a blowout and strikes a victim I suppose he is also then NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR MECHANICAL ISSUES.

    Thank you all, except for Colin, aka. silverpop, of course.

    I saw this coming a couple of weeks ago when I had no response from him. The whole thing seemed slimy and less than above-board.

    Since my post on Wednesday several members have PM'd me to say that they've had similar experiences with this guy. I hope he can really use the $110, maybe it'll make his life better. Heck, he may have even used it buy the Morgan, hope it makes him happy.

    For all the sellers I've dealt with in the past and recently, besides Colin Dickerson of course, thank you. You've helped me increase the value and desirability of by collection and for that I'll be forever grateful; not to mention the education you've given me, The CBH's (Lance, Dave and Todd), and the Buff Nicks (Joe) have all added to my love of the hobby.

    I've never run into another Colin but will be more judicious with who I deal with in the future. This was a trainwreck and I hope this true, Karma Is a Bitch,

    Thank to all, except this particular "seller".

    Bill

    I hope the "seller" rethinks his position and does the right thing. I've been considering placing a couple coins onto the BST recently. As a four year member here who has yet to dip his toe into the BST as a buyer or seller, this thread actually bolsters my confidence in almost every member who has participated there.

    Good luck Bill.

    I have little/no experience with the BST but if someone is banned for improper posts wouldn't the moderators do something similar to someone known to be "a problem child on the BST for years"?

    No.
    The issues and problems didn't raise to the level of a complete banning.
    Couple that with many members who have had difficulty don't speak of it yet privately deal with it.

    All of my experiences on the BST I’ve been very positive. With that said, I know who to avoid, via a few messages back-and-forth, and so this is zero surprise to me.

    silverpop, please respond to my last 7 or 8 messages regarding the 2 Mercs I bought from you but which never arrived via USPS. You're well aware that these never got here as per USPS. I've sent you all the communications I've had with them. You didn't ship these with insurance and your excuse for not doing so is lame. You will not communicate with me by either email or PM here on the forum. I saw your post about your new Morgan and at least know you're still alive.

    I've done hundreds of transactions here on the BST and have NEVER had any problems, certainly nothing as remotely as screwed up as this has been with you. Many of the forum members know me and have sold coins to me, never with a problem.

    For those wondering, I offered Colin $110 for 2 Mercs he listed on the BST. He agreed, wanted a check, I sent the check, it cleared and he sent the coins. Then the coins went missing with the last updates from USPS on 3/30 "out for delivery" and then on 3/31 "Alert: Awaiting delivery scan". That's the last info I've gotten. I talked to the PO 3 times early on. Their guess is the package was destroyed "due to a spill". Apparently they had a couple of liquid breakages around that time. As far as I know that might be true or the thing was stolen. Either way, Colin has the money and I have no coins.

    When I asked Colin if he had insured the package his response was "no, if I had it would have been more pricey". Had he asked me I would have paid for the insurance.

    I've sent him numerous inquiries both by PM here on the forum and to his email address. He hasn't responded for over a month. My guess is I'm screwed on the $110. I know this isn't his fault and neither is it mine. I wish he'd insured the package and for the life of me I can't imagine not insuring it unless as the seller I was willing to self-insure and hope for the best.

    Sorry to do this here and I expect blow-back from some of you, but I'm totally frustrated with silverpop's lack of communication. Maybe he'll see this one...

    Bill

    This is unacceptable and totally lame on the seller's part who should be reimbursing you in full. Until tracking shows a package is delivered, it is the responsibility of the seller to make the buyer whole in the event the package doesn't arrive. Whether insurance was purchased or not is irrelevant.

    No one should buy a single coin from you ever again with that kind of unacceptable attitude. Lame!

    I do not deal with BST sales, that do not allow for them to be paid via reg. PP. Never had an issue. This could have been avoidable if done so.
