No return priv.,
If you want coins like those being offered, buy them from someone that isn't afraid to take them back if they don't suit your fancy.
It's always the false allure of the "deal", or "bargain" that makes these type of auctions tick.

well, lets see...."inherited", raw, harshly cleaned at worst - very strange looking at best, sold "as is", seller claims no knowledge etc...enough red flags for a Valentines Day parade and he appears to know how to attempt to "cover himself". Sure, he has "good feedback" but so do most sellers of forged autographs on eBay. Why would you want to bid? I don't know anything about the seller (those are my just opinions up there and his motivations are not my concern) - but why not look for a Dealer/Seller with some knowledge and a return policy? I am certain there are plenty of honest and knowledgeable Dealers in here - if you know what coins you are looking for ask around in a thread. Remember, one of the keys to collecting quality coins is PATIENCE. Collect what you like with knowledge and deliberation and you ought to do all right
Best to you,

When one thinks they are "taking" someone, they are usually the one getting taken!!!

<< <i>An additional red flag for me is NO PayPal. >>
The funny thing is, the auction is set up so that it's an option...but then the seller says no, and then to "e-mail for instructions" in order to use it. No doubt they're going to try to hit you with the PayPal fees in those "instructions."
Actually, it appears they want you to go through the Pope.
