Hello. Do these auctions seem to be on the up-and-up? No undue concerns?

    I'm not sure I buy the story about buying the contents of the house and there being a safe full of coins. Also, some of the coins offered should only be bought authenticated or by experts who have seen the coins in hand. For the most part though, everything seems to be business as usual for the Bay.

    just guessing , but every item has multiple bids and
    they are pretty much lumped into the same 2 or 3

    I bought some similar types coins from this fellow about 4 months. Shipped fast and no hassles, but a 1852 was given thumbs down by PCGS because of "enviromental damage". I'd buy from him again probably.

    I don't buy it. She also has an alleged sister, "love_to_shop33", selling coins. It's probably some dealer unloading junk.

    Feedbacks look ok but the story is tacky.

    "I don't know anything about coins"
    But the seller has a few hundred feedbacks selling coins.

    To me it looks like someone has a group of decent coins, but coins that are all marginal. From the ones I viewed, I don't think any of them would grade at a TPG. Seems to be problems like environmental damage, cleaning, light scratches, etc.

    I bet its a dealer selling some better type problem coins and using the story to entice bids.

    Some pretty nice stuff...some has problems, but I they are leaving some big bucks on the table not having this stuff slabbed, even if by ANACS for the problem coins.
