    What are you talking about?

  • Spam indeed
  • Is that his website?

  • Is that his website?

    I wouldn't bet against it being his or he is affiliated with it. I could be wrong though. But let's see: He comes on here with only a handful of posts. Posts a title all in caps asking us to look at the pictures and then links to a site with close to a hundred coin photos all conveniently for sale. If it was an auction with only one coin I'd be less suspicious is all. Again I may be wrong image

    Asking about one coin is alright in particular but 100 coinsfor sale is spam like.

  • The explanation is that i just bought (2) 1884-s morgan dollars from him.In anticipation of recieving them im asking for youre opinion to see what they are worth. I want to know if his pictures are crapier than the coin. There is youre "explanation". This aint CSI people.


    Have a great Evening,
    Matt.

  • I hope they're better than they look, because a lot of the coins look kind of crappy.
  • Spam and eggs is good too. As long as you cook the spam smoe before you add the eggs.

    Pix make no difference, if you are buying raw coins you are exercising poor judgment. Your expectations are about as realistic as expecting a nutritious meal from meat sold in a can.
    I brake for ear bars.

  • The seller is on Ebay as well. Claims that "We are liquidators of collectibles, not dealers, experts or graders of them!", but sells a hell of a lot of coins, and appears to know how to price them.

    The do have a generous return policy, so if the coins stink, you can return and get a refund.

  • I've been getting emails from these people for at least since this time last year when I signed up for an auction.
  • Matthew, interesting sigline coin you described as "I bought this coin 5years ago and everyday its worth more and more money!AND NO YOU CANT BUY IT!"

    FYI, here's some more info on that coin from it's sale at the Bowers and Marina Auction, Lot #11739 The John F. Rindge and Alan J. Harlan Collections Session Three, Closed 12/05/2003 09:00 AM PST:

    Lot # 2288
    1895 Morgan Silver Dollar Proof-66 Deep Cameo (PCGS).
    Lot Information
    Final Bid: $51,750.00 (includes 15.00% buyer's premium)
    Description: A simply stunning coin from the moment you first lay eyes on it, this one will attract considerable attention for its deep gold peripheral toning and headlight centers. We note a hint of blue intermixed in the dentils on the obverse and reverse. The surfaces show none of the usual hairlines or cleaning marks, and this coin somehow survived unscathed by residing quietly in a collector's holdings for many years. The strike is needle-sharp and flawless. With a mintage of just 880 pieces in Proof, there simply aren't many to go around for all the Morgan dollar collectors who would like to own an example.
    PCGS has graded only 2 this high in deep cameo, with 7 higher. A worthy acquisition for the specialist who demands outstanding quality.

    Philadelphia Mint records reflect 12,000 were coined for general circulation, but none have been found. Therefore, it is assumed that the entire mintage of 12,000 business strikes were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918, which melted down millions of Morgan dollars then held in Treasury vaults. As this date was known in proof condition, it was usually included in most albums and collections, keeping demand very high for the few proofs available. Here is one of the nicest we have seen in some time, a coin that was put away decades ago. Expect fireworks when this gem crosses the auction block.

    Three gem Proof 1895 dollars in this sale resided in the same collection for many years until recently consigned to this sale.

    Common people,its not that hard to click properties and copy and paste.I would never spend 50-55 thousand on a coin.
    nice "RESEARCH" EE.LOL.

  • So you lied. You didn't buy it 5 years ago?

    Cameron Kiefer
  • Look nobody on this forum is perfect. I DO LOVE good research (nice job!!), and can't stand liars. A little B.S.-- OK, but not over $60,000 coins please.

    This is a very dumb ass thread. - Laura Sperber - Tuesday January 09, 2007 11:16 AM image

    Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
  • I can not believe some of you people !!! A person comes on here with a simple question and he's immediately attacked ??

    What the HeII is this place coming to???? imageimage

    Shame on you guys. Heaven forbid a new collector comes here innocently asking for opinions and advice. You'll run 'em outta town on a rail before just politely answering. If it's a scam or spam it will become obvious as time goes on.

    YEAH....but we were right! He throws a $50,000 proof in his sigline saying bought 5 years ago..."NO IT'S Not for sale"????? COME ON!

    He's a fraud. I FEEL NO SHAME!!!

    I agree that there is a lot of shooting first and asking questions later on this board.

    The thing is, though, in the vast majority of the cases -- as the thread evolves and others do some detective work -- it appears in hindsight that the "shooting" was justified. Not to apologize for the shoot-first mentality as it can be sometimes unfortunately misdirected at well-meaning newbies, but it *is* a reminder of *why* so many folks here seem to have developed that tendency to "assume the worst."

    These types of threads almost always turn out to be "spam or scam," or so it seems.

    He's probably a kid looking to create an ego based on perceived envy of some people on an internet forum by fabricating some ficticious story about his capabilities/stature in society/wealth. Nothing new.

  • Ok, so you proved the sig line pic wasn't his? He edited and admitted it wasn't.

    What i don't understand is why some of you are sooo quick to judge newcomers to this board ??

    Immediately he was judged and questioned about his reason for posting here.

    Did you not read his question? or did you immediately question his sig line pic ?

    I am confused by the reactions to a very simple question about a web sites picture quality.

  • ER,

    What is so funny about my post?

  • ERER Posts: 7,345
    When you start to deceive people, you lose all credibility, as far as I 'm concerned. And to show defiance even after he got busted,

    << <i>Here,does this make you happy? >>

    , the kid has no shame.

    BTW, Matthew, the coins in my sig line are really mine, and they are really not for sale.
  • Wow.....I just staredmy S/N here and you people are BITING AT MY ***image ..........Cant we all get along.......
