Doogy

Yep, he's a good one. But I really hate how he doesn't comment on condition since his scans are so mediocre. And I wouldn't expect to get any steals out of his stock, seems too many people follow his listings.

Hyperion

they were one of the first people I ever bought from, nice WYSIWYG for the most part. thin descriptions, good service. and HIGHLY visible for whatever reason, impossible to get a steal

Here's a coin I got from him:

Germany, Baden - 1 kreuzer, 1852
Baden is one of my focus areas. I love this coin, though for the kreuzers this one isn't too difficult anymore -- I think a hoard was found recently. I'm kicking myself for letting a nice 1865 1kr in MS64 slip by me the other day!

Doogy

I put in an impulse bid on one of his auctions last night, and won this one: "Kingdom of Sweden Beautiful Toned One Year Type 1897 EB 2 Kronor Silver Jubilee Coin (Km#762)"

looks like a good sized coin, one i really know nothing about. we'll see how it looks in person

farthing

Nice half-dollar sized hunk of Swedish silver! One of the more common of the commemorative 2KR coins on eBay along with the Delaware, Gustaf II and Political Liberty coins. I enjoy collecting this series.

He seemed to have a bunch of mediocre Polish coins that sold for way too much a few months back

lordmarcovan

Never heard of him. Judging from the looks of what Spoon and Doogy bought, though, I can see why he might have a following.

Emperor

I bought this quite cheaply a few months ago. No problems with transatlantic shipping, I don't know if that will apply to you.

SYRACUSIAN

I think that the major problem with them is their lack of a return policy. It's been a long time since I bought an AT coin and had to flip it at a loss. I'm not part of their following since.

His pictures don't usually inspire confidence.

SYRACUSIAN

Now I found a new reason to never bid again at their auctions:

fake gold 20 drs and a very bad one too

SYRACUSIAN

From the (revised) description:

Kingdom of Greece ~ King George I ~ 1884 A 20 Drachmai Gold Coin ~ 6.4516 g. 0.9000 Gold .1867 oz. AGW ~ CORRECT WEIGHT AND PROPER DIAGNOSTICS (Km#56)



Correct weight means nothing, this coin regularly sells for three times its BV:

Real 20 drs



Their 20 drs:




You can draw your own conclusions.

I'm sure theirs is fake, because one side is bigger than the other3Mark

Larry, that's an excellent point, I'll put it on top of my list, because I didn't know where to begin.
