One of two shops in town. The other is full of old farts who I swear look down on anyone that isn't retired (no offense). This area sort of sucks for coins.
Positive BST: WhiteThunder (x2), Ajaan, onefasttalon, mirabela, Wizard1, cucamongacoin, mccardguy1
Negative BST: NONE!

Perhaps your friend was buying the coin up to his grading standard and liked the coin. But aside from that, I have never understood one's thinking behind this "every coin is MS70". To literally label thousands of coins MS70 and sell them to a broad range of people. If asked, I would say it means nothing. Perhaps this is what this fellow said to sell his self slab coins. That maybe he said this about all grading company's opinions on coins and he would have several examples to prove his point. With that said, how does anyone have the right to tear any company down when a grade is suggested to be 2-3 grades above or below another's opinion? Just because one company has led people to believe they do a better job. Of course more money has and will exchanged hands more readily because of one's opinion having been perceived to be better and more dependable than another's opinion. Perhaps it's all about advertising? But yet all of the coin grading companies have coins they've graded that give you doubt. hmmm

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Home of Abon owners searched
MANSFIELD – Authorities raided the home of Larry and Donna Bence, the owners of Abon Cards & Coins on Wednesday and seized numerous firearms, power tools and cash at 136 Marion Ave.
Detectives also found a Remington 12-gauge shotgun that was reported stolen in March 2009, according to a Mansfield police report.
Meanwhile, two people arrested Thursday night on Chilton Avenue after hiding from police for hours were arraigned Friday morning in Mansfield Municipal Court, each on a charge of receiving stolen property. Police alleged the couple attempted to sell stolen merchandise at Abon on Wednesday, the same day that Secret Service, FBI, IRS and Mansfield police executed a search warrant
Felipe Dusi, 23, and Hailee Partin, 26, hid from SWAT members and authorities, refusing to come out of 129 Chilton Ave. on Thursday before SWAT members forcibly removed them from an attic.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Add a Hawaiian shirt with mustard on it, and wouldn't most dealers be guilty of this?
I do not put a lot of stock on what I read in the local paper about a story written by a writer that got there info from a swat member.

As I read the article, that was found at the home of somebody unrelated to Abon whom the police became interested in when he came to the Abon shop during the police presence in the shop.

Sheesh, communicate better.
How about the idiot couple who show up with a car load of stolen property, trying to sell it, while the secret service, swat, police, and everyone else you can think of, are at the shop doing a raid! Talk about bad timing!

I was always of the opinion that if you knew what you were doing that you'd never be disappointed. It's a well known and well publicized fact that SGS Graded coins were and are over graded. That was no secret.
I would be "very" interested in finding out exactly what the "Secret Service" involvement might have been since, from what I understand, they only investigate counterfeiting operations whereas interstate fraud is investigated by the FBI.
I'd also like to know the outcome of this operation other than simply fodder for those that like to poo-poo aboncom's ebay listings.
Did someone get upset that their MS70 State Quarter turned out to be junk?
Another thing that has my curiosity peaked: Exactly what are the Journalistic Credentials of Lou Whitmire?

The title states who Abon is, "Our Favorite Self-Slabber".

WOW . . .
I'm surprised that you didn't get tarred-&-feathered on this forum for using your superior knowledge to rip-off this poor coin dealer; just trying to earn a living . . .

The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against Secret Service protectees as well as financial crimes, which include counterfeiting of U.S. currency or other U.S. Government obligations; forgery or theft of U.S. Treasury checks, bonds or other securities; credit card fraud; telecommunications fraud; computer fraud, fraudulent commerce, identify fraud and certain other crimes affecting federally insured financial institutions.
My interpretation is that because a claim of accepting and selling stolen currency and using a computer to perform these crimes would fall under the SS blanket. Say they take in a 1932 25c VF20 in a TPG slab that is stolen then place it in a SGS slab at MS70 and sell it on the internet (lessening the tracking potential of the TPG slab as stolen) with more than likely knowledge that the coin is stolen, this would be fraud. (Computer and Commerce Fraud)
I guess my concern would be how many of the coins they have self slabed are actually or possibly stolen?

That exact question "could" apply to ANY raw coin sale or ANY coin sale for that matter. To lump all those insinuations onto a single seller because s/he has a less than tarnished reputation on these forums just does not appear to be right IMO.
There is no evidence portrayed other than a bust reported on by a shoddy reporter. Wait for the actual facts to come out before ...............
oh whats the point?
I'm sorry to see aboncom get naru'ed off ebay as I actually liked perusing the constant modern coin listings.
