  • I won 1 coin from them sometime in the past. I did not like the looks of it when I received it; it looked too shiny and dipped as all their coins look. They took it back no problem and refunded my money.

    Everything he sells is CLEANED, CLEANED, CLEANED, and CLEANED! I have yet to see a natural-looking coin in one of his auctions.

    Cheers,

    I bought a harshly cleaned 1861 half dollar from him. He took it back and relisted it WITHOUT saying it was cleaned. Very unethical.image

  • He was the king of the whizzed 1928 Peace dollar for months and months.... Do a search.... he's been discussed before... stay away unless you like altered coins....

    The coin I'm looking at is slabbed, so the whizzing/cleaning isn't an issue in this case. It does look very nice for the grade, and was thinking maybe he enhanced the pics. As long as he honors his return policy, that's what counts in this case. Thanks for the comments.

    Thanks for the info. I was looking at some of his auctions. I could tell the coins had been dipped, but several looked nice. Then I noticed some he called AU looked just as nice. They had to be cleaned to remove the scratches and marks from circulation.

  • The scary thing about this thread. All of you say is stuff is really cleaned [and you're probably right], but in the last month he has had 604 positives, 1 neg, and 1 neutral. That's pretty good. So that means there are probably a lot of unknowledgable? collectors out there buying this stuff. I know I'm afraid to buy high grade raw. I almost always buy slabbed. I don't have enough confidence in my own skills to buy raw [from anybody] Obviously, there are a lot of people who should think like me.. JMHO. Steve
