  • I looked at some of the pics of the seller's coins and they don't look cleaned to me....from the pic anyway.
  • The VAST majority of the feedback seems to have come from one person who claims that every coin on Earth has been cleaned. I really don't see anything wrong with this seller except for the fact that he did business with one annoying individual.
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    Typical ebay seller--
    Crummy photos, ordinary inventory of raw coins, liberal grading, some coins appear cleaned...

    So what's the problem?

    That is one serious "pissing contest" ....

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
  • It actually looks like two possibly cleaned coins where the buyer stopped payment, instead of simple return.

    Calling a buyer "A FUNGUS on Ebay" might not have been very constructive though!!image

    The seller needs to take a grading class, and also learn how to avoid these titanic pissing matches that make him look terrible.... image

    looks to me like XF to AU coins being sold as MS62 to MS65

    photo angles and lighting very deceptive

    no reverse photos


    I would not buy from her
  • Looks to me like both buyer and seller are rediculously stupid. image The seller has obviously mis-represented at least some of these coins. If the buyer had actually looked at them he probably wouldn't have bought them. But he was looking to steal and got greedy.

    It looks to me like when the buyer figured out that he screwed up he decided not to just return the coins through the stated terms. He decided to stop payment on a series of checks. The seller then gets screwed out of shipping costs AND has to pay fees at his bank for the stopped checks.

    The seller deserves to get hurt for mis-representing. The buyer deserves to get hurt too. I think I wouldn't want to do business with either of them.

  • Seller looks bad acting like that. In buyers defense he said he ask 4 refund b4 stop payment!

  • I especially love the one reply to a different person, "I ask repeatedly for address, no reply?" I'm like... yeah......... right....... who's gonna buy something, and then refuse to give their shipping address to the seller?

    I'm not sure I'd do business with this seller, but if nothing else, I've found a few bidders to block in the process of reviewing the feedback!
  • everytime I see something like this I always say to myself............


    Self, why does anyone buy raw coins from Ebay?
