Do you have any experience with this store?

Hi, I was looking at their Morgan Dollars and they all appear very shiny and new. Just curious if you have bought from them.

    I have never bought from them, but just in case you are new to coin collecting be careful when buying unslabbed coins based on a photo and graded by the seller's opinion only. Before you bid, ask the seller if you have a return privilege in case you don't like the coin. If you aren't very sure of your grading skills, just be careful buying raw coins.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Every coin offered looks horribly cleaned. They must do it themselves. Junk of the junk in my opinion. Too bad there are people like this that ruin coins for future generations. I wrote this seller some weeks back and let them know that I thought their tactic of cleaning coins, not only spoiled them forever, but would not make them any more money, as collectors of today prefer original coins. They told me that the bought all the coins looking the way they do. A crying shame it is!

    Looks like Jewelers rouge and a buffing wheel got to them.

  • Thanks guys, I'm still amateur but found these obviously very suspicious. You just confirmed it.
