    I always skip right past their listings. I do not like the way their images misrepresent the coin they are trying to sell.

    No thank you, photos typically heavily edited to make the coins look better.

    I have bought lots and lots of coins from them. Roosie dimes so sweet you want to cry. I don’t know how they do it. Dozens of purchases and only one return. Return was fast, easy and zero hassle.
    They have those blue, black and green Morgan’s and peace dollar plastic homemade “ certified “ looking display flips. Misspellings and all. I bought 5 or 6 and removed them, gave em a “ quick Ricko , 😎with acetone , their nice enough and at $30 average when I bought them, good deal.
    They have a parent company in Arizona, I think. Anyway, they can’t take a picture to save their lives but are usually high quality coins arrive and if not, no problem returns.
    I have spoken with them several times. Nice folks, poor quality photos.
    My “ opinion “ as always. 😉🙀🦫

    They have bought some coins from me on eBay. I accidently sent them a somewhat more valuable item than they had won in an auction, and they returned it to me as soon as I contacted them.

    The default position for many people when considering sellers on eBay is that they are going to cheat you. eBay agrees with this.

    Knowing is half the battle ;)
    I agree with you Mason & I say always be vigilant while shopping and do research :)

    Being vigilant is a good thing. Going through life thinking everybody is out to cheat you? Not so much.

    I look at it like this,,, if I decided to buy it,, unless I'm cheating myself therefore I don't see how they could've beaten me to the punch, since I'm cheating myself.
    Hmmm 🤔 :)
    Also if you go around thinking,,, if it sounds to good to be true,,, then it is.
    Well I'm my opinion you're missing out on a big chunk of life based on a saying.

    @bp777 I'm curious how their pictures and description represented those coins.

    Good luck with them so far myself.

    They buy my semi PL coins and jack the contrast on them.

    Caveat emptor.

    The pics were ok. I zoomed into look for scratches. They were listed as gem bu and/or dmpl. I also bought a 78CC and returned it because there were ugly scratches on the reverse.

    Bought once, will never again. Photos in no way represented the coin recieved. If I could block them and great southern so they didn't show in my searches I would.

    .
    we had a thread about this not too long ago. pretty sure i showed the way it can still be done, pretty easily, then just bookmark/favorite the link. one can have dozens of various pre-set url searches this way. including some where certain sellers are block and sometimes not. just depending on time/patience etc for each buyer.
