PCGS MS70 First Strike ASEs for 19.99

I used paypal and the credit card tied to it to buy 10. We'll see what happens.

    Did you have to provide phone number, etc., that will allow them to contact you?

    I find it hard to believe it is legit.... but.... perhaps a Memorial Day sale!

    cancelled purchase with my CC when I found out from the CC email that it was an international purchase. They are likely shipping counterfeit ASEs in counterfeit holders.

    Both of us know, what the outcome of this scam will be.

    Outcome has arrived. CC is removing the charges and issuing a new card. Treated it as a fraud claim.

    It looks like the “about us” language on the coinagefield website is identical to the description on the greatamericancoincompany website. Is the latter basically legit?

    If it is too good to be true it is. It's the oldest scammer play, play on greed.

    1 oz silver coins for $20? Really?

    The first panacea of a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

    Absolutely too good to be true.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    But tracking shows the 10 coins on their way to be delivered on Thursday.

    I'm betting they are counterfeit slabs and coins.

    Got the CC fraud refund, but still received the "coins." Just as I suspected, cheap Chinese fakes.

    Is that something the secret service might look into?

    I guess I am naïve, but how can this site not be shut down? It is still out there and appears to name real people in the US who are affiliated with it.
