Wow- they musta really changed the dies for the Franklin half that year- it looks like a Peace dollar in a New Mistrust holder to me.
"centsles" has been around forever. I remember a dealer by that moniker advertising in Coins magazine and/or Numismatic News years ago, long before I ever entered cyberspace.
Usually a strong seller of Accugrade coins, I believe. And grossly overgraded raw stuff sold sight-unseen in the magazines, probably.
<< <i>only 96 negatives but six thousand six hundred and sixty nine of them aint. What are you doing looking at ACG dealers stock? >>
True enough, but look into his feedback and you see a bunch of different repeat bidders in a row. Maybe not enough for a "look elsewhere" for most, but I would.
Besides selling obviously cleaned coins in "turd" party slabs they are incredibly disorganized.
What gets me they plead ignorance when you point it out. Sadly many uninformed will shell out big bucks and be happy with a whizzed or even counterfeit coin.
ok, so 96 negs looks pretty bad, especially to "mr. feedback" but....
1) only from 32 unique users, (just randomly chose a page and one guy left six negs in a row, all related to point 3 below.)
2) out of 21000 plus transactions, 6,000 plus satisfied customers
3) many of the complaints are no doubt acg related
4) not a negative in the past 6 months
i would have no trouble dealing with this seller. i have in the past and have been both happy with coins and unsatisfied, and returns always go smoothly.
so the moral is
a stellar feedback profile can include 96 negatives as long as you know that the negatives were not necessarily the sellers fault and
there is a proper return priviledge.
he's such a nice guy i bet if you bid high enough he'll send you both the Frankie and the peace.
Tonekiller & Zenny are absolutely correct. You will run into a psycho bonehead every 100 to 150 transactions and nothing you do will keep them from blasting forth with their "wicked" Negative. With 21,000+ completed transactions, that is not an inordinate number of Negs. I've bought 3 or 4 coins from Centsles and have always found their service to be spectacular and all but one of the coins was accurately graded and the final coin was close. I certainly wouldn't avoid an auction just because he is the seller!
Do you realize this guy has 1,379 Feedbacks, with NO Negatives, in just the past MONTH? That is just 1 month!! You've got a lot of sellers out there that can't do that in 4 years!
Be Bop A Lula!!

Lucy, you're not going to let them talk about our Franklins that way, are you?
new catagory for graders
You just have to use your imagination.
Got quoins?
This one is good.

You've got a keen eye to pick up on that mistake. Took me a few minutes to figure out what you were talking about.
