Has anyone ever dealt with this seller?

Looks like they sell lots of NTC slabs. Beware.....link

Sells a lot of NGC slabs too. Nothing wrong with that. Is there??????

nccoin

The fact that they they sell lots of NTC slabs means they have probably submitted many coins to NTC i.e. coins that would either be bodybagged or graded much lower buy the major grading companies. If this is the character of the dealer, then it is someone I personally would not deal with.

I bought an item once...3 coin lot of PCGS Franklin halves...no problem transaction.

Yea I would judge the seller because he sells NTC slabs also. Perfect Feedback record and has been on Ebay since 2000. This seller is trash for sure.

Geez.....

The bottom line is DON'T BUY NTC SLABS. Perfect feedback must mean a perfect seller...... because of Ebays flawless feedback system

So Pherris, does that clear things up for you?

Actually, I get concerned when a dealer claims that 1900 and 1899-O Morgans are "key dates".....

Don't be so kind. Didn't someone recently cross an NTC MS69 silver quarter to a PCGS MS64?

Not the point.

The point is that if the person who started this thread ignores this seller because he sells NTC slabbed coins he just might miss some very nice coins that are in the NGC slabs that are sold. Feedback...who cares as long as the seller delivers the product when you pay for the item. If he does not deliver thats a different story and I am sure someone would have Negged him by now if that was the case.

True, if you have the time and inclination to weed them out. The problem is, a lot of time other people are doing the same, so even the ones that appear properly graded may not be such good bargains any more.

Here's an example of my point. Here's a recently completed auction on an NTC AU-58 1891-CC Morgan. To me, it looks like NTC may have got this one right and I was watching it and contemplating a snipe on it. Normally, this would be a good bargain-hunting opportunity, but it appears that a few other people noticed it, too, and it didn't get away all that cheaply despite the third-rate slab (cheaper, I think, than a PCGS or NGC 58 would have sold for, but not the orders of magnitude we're used to). So yes, some people *are* buying the coin and not the holder.

Thanks for the replys. I am not looking at the NTC coins I am asking because he has a Walking Liberty that I am interested in, it is a 1955 PCGS MS66 that looks like a nice coin in my opinion.
