    Bad pictures and a lot of recent negative feedbacks means I won't even consider bidding on their stuff.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Lousy photos I'm sure for a reason, plus poor feedback. Wouldn't buy his junk with someone elses
    money (maybe yours). Avoid with a ten foot pole.

    Those foggy pictures freak me out a little, like you're buying a haunted coin or something.... Plus, I've always had this negative attitude towards names or titles that use numbers in place of words.....

    I have looked at a few of his auctions in the past, and I have to say that his pictures are getting better!!! Before you couldn't even tell that they were coinsimage

  • I've bought a couple of things from him in the past. You just have to know what to look for through the fog image

    The sad thing is he actually has some nice coins some collectors would want.
    The images must drive away bids. He could do so much better if he had a clue image

    Foggy pictures-

    (Maybe he used to photograph for Penthouse?)

    it seems most recent negs are from people who didn't read that the silver hoard included 40% silver coinage -

    Smaller type, but it was disclosed.

  • every coin i've ever seen of his had some type of problem, hence the london fog, or maybe i'm just too picky about what i spend too much on.

    May I ask how many of his coins have you seen.

    I agree. I was bidding on one of his Civil War tokens and just couldn't get myself to go that extra little bit that might have won it for me because i was so unsure about the "look".

    Me too, especially any variation of "4U" in the user ID.

    Heywood, I would also neg when the seller posts this as being representative of the 'hoard'........if you look closely, maybe you see a 40% silver Kennnedy, but the image is NO WHERE CLOSE to being representative of a 40% hoard...it is representative3 of a 90% hoard.

    His misrepresentation photo of the silver lot is imaged perfectly. Interesting how he can take a photo when
    he wants to and it's to his advantage.

    I agree there is an atempt to decieve/mislead- but in his foggy mind, since he states that they contain 40% he is justified. ( he even states that they contain all 40% silver.

    Also look at the link he provides to SHopathome for 40% silver coins, with regular mixed silver picture- maybe he thinks if they can do it, so can he? null

    I bet that isn't even his pictue, all of his other LOT OF COINS and individual pictures are blured out and have different file names ( Also notice the Camera icon in lower right)
