    "Has it occurred to you that they have probably graded every coin which is worth the shot and you are buying the leftovers?"
    And 2 of their so-called left overs are probably unattributed buffalo proofs? Not worth a look? Hardly so I think.
    There photos are great so they are indeed worth a look. Its just up to you to grade the coin and you of course will have
    it in hand to make the final decision. People who must rely on others to grade their coins 100 percent of the time drive me nuts. >>




    Everyone in this thread, including yourself, has stated that their photos are extremely juiced and hide the flaws on coins that will never grade. Where is the disconnect you are having?
    They have a history of selling dreck as if it is treasure.

    There are none so blind as who will not see. Brian and others have given you some good advice which you can choose to ignore at you own peril.

    Their photos are not great. They're crap. Photos are supposed to accurately represent the look of coins. Theirs do not.

    << <i>got my refund today, they are prompt at issueing refunds. this is the second time i
    have returned one of their coins. probably have bought a half dozen or so. there photos are
    excellent, so you have to grade the coin yourself. whats wrong with that? >>



    I think that what is "wrong with that" is intentional misrepresentation.

    One can buy, get it in hand, and if they don't like it, send it back. For an experienced collector, this usually isnt a problem as long as you don't mind gambling shipping fees all the time. For the collector who thinks they know what they are doing, it becomes a disaster! Why you may ask? Cause they submit these coins thinking they are gonna score big and bam, details city lol! The best part about this is the person who submitted the coins and praised the seller now thinks they have been had! Reality is though that collector needs to stop thinking they know what they are doing and learn some more!

    << <i>The best thing about their auctions is you can see their name & logo in the main image and know to immediately move along without looking further.

    Surely they screw up and sell an unimpaired coin now and then. I hope for the OP's sake this is one of them.

    I agree and I'm happy they do that. But, I can pretty much tell just by looking at their images who the seller is. I can also do this with another seller that always uses "So Nice" in their titles in their listings. I always move on and it does save me time.
    So it's a good thing!!!!!image

    This too.....

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
