New Morgans from Teletrade...Any Opinions

LittleBitOEverything

Thanks everyone. I was looking for some insight on Teletrade, I just purchased 2 Morgans from there and was wondering if anyone has had any Negative experiences with them, are they overpriced, better places to purchase Morgans(BST), The 2 Morgans I purchased were a 1878 R78 7TF MS63 PL and the 2nd one was a 1882S MS 64. Both are graded by PCGS and I won both for under PCGS coin price guide. So what I guess Im getting at should I look elsewhere for graded coins and are there anymore decent auction sites that would be worth checking out. Any information would be appreciated. Heres the pics of the 2 coins won.

Thanks

My limited experience with Teletrade has been a good one. I won a 1931S buffalo nickel in PCGS MS65 that was much better in hand than in the pictures. The shipping was very quick, and I actually received a thank you card from one of the Teletrade people after I received the coin. Just one experience with them, but it was really positive!

I've not done Teletrade in a long time, but in general I was satisfied.

One time, however, I tried returning a coin that had been poorly described. I paid out the nose for that mistake.

Also, try the following sites, they are all very popular.

Here are a couple of Morgans posted on my Recent 1879-O & 1885-S TeleTrade Purchases Thread which I am very pleased with.

I just received the 1885-S today. It was shipped very quickly and looks great in person!

The 1879-O looks great in the photo, and I am anxious to see it in person!

the 1st coin's been dipped & not rinsed properly. crack it out, it needs to be conserved. the 2d coin is quite nice.

I've purchased several coins from Teletrade. The descriptions are accurate and the shipping secure and timely.

Several purchases, 1 return - which cost me $50 + shipping. Good site, but those photos sometimes can be deceiving.

Bargins are when coins will trade around or under greysheet Bid on Teletrade, ignore the PCGS Price guide.

Greysheet - buy the weekly or $3.99 or something like that.

That's actually the original prototype layout for our site. It looks much, much different than that. About 2 weeks ago, the ISP that hosts our site went out of business. As a result, they moved a server or shut it down or something. Now anyone who types our URL gets the old prototype site and there's nothing that I can do to fix it immediately. I did contact a new internet provider and we have requested a domain transfer and will be up and running again in about 1-2 weeks. Fortunately I kept the web site on my local drive as well, so the data for the new site was not lost. I sure know how to pick 'em! The company we selected to host our site basically vanished over night. They were even featured on the local news last week. The president of the company has vanished and not even his family knows of his whereabouts. Hope it's nothing bad, for the family's sake.

Anyway, please check back in a couple of weeks for the new site. We still have a month or more of development work to get it fully operational, but the "meat-n-potatoes" will be there.

In the meantime, please check out this site: www.EarlyUS.com

This is the original Jade Rare Coin web site. James and I have split the company and he is now operating as EarlyUS.com, which is mostly an E-business venture, although he does some shows as well. I kept the Jade Rare Coin retail location in Michigan and, since James kept the earlyus.com domain, I have the new web site, www.jaderarecoin.com. James and I still work together on a daily basis and are still good friends. The decision to split was influenced by geographical reasons, as well as some other business issues.

Those pictures are so small and blurry, it seems like it would be difficult to offer much of an assessment. Do you have them in hand, or are they still to be delivered??

Just received email from Teletrade that they shipped out today. Im not sure how they ship them (usps) I suppose, Ill try and post better pics when I get them.

you can go to the teletrade site & look at blowup pictures. of course it doesn't replace in-hand inspection ,but experience tells me the 1st dollar has been doctored.
