This guy is not even trying to get the grades right

Here's a link to someone who is just making up absurd grades. All of his coins grade uncirculated, yet the coins are horribly cleaned VFs and XFs. He seems to be a worst grader than ACG ever was.

Yet he has lots of glowing feedback from "satisfied" customers. I can't believe all the folks who LIKE his coins. I need another beer.

    Yeah-I've noticed the same thing. Absolute garbage.

    Most likely buyers that know less about grading than the person they are buying from. I would have to say 10 years ago I might have believed him on some of those grades. Now I have learned much from my mistakes.
  • HEY!! I bought my entire collection of MS-70 buffalo nickels from that guy! He's great!!
