They have a raw 1803/2 Capped bust $5 that looks very nice....
Anyone deal with them?
Edited to add: It looks like an EF to me (which if it was, I would still be happy) But what would make me unhappy if it came back as whizzed/cleaned/etc.

that coin is altered surfaces and them some,
I like RYK's example!!!!!!
BUT, I wouldnt go to the store to buy it, as it may not be there. Look at their terms...'walk-ins welcome, but please call ahead as most coins kept in bank vault'........that must mean that all their good stuff that ISNT in their ads are at the store and the cleaned/whizzed/altered/problem crapola is in a safety deposit box. It must be nice to be able to have a SDB labeled 'junk gold' or 'junk silver'. You get a phone call, go to the bank, go to the 'junk pile', and pull out a coin they will get $6,250 for....niiiiiiiiiiice.
Too bad they are in SC, and I am in CA.
When the coin showed up, it sure had been cleaned. In fact, a seeing eye dog probably would have noticed it.
I've never even remotely considered doing business with them since then, and I'm committed to keeping that streak alive as long as I am.
i think i'm gettin' a vibe from ryk

Could you be a little more clear? I can't understand what you're saying.

Well, without beating around the bush too much, I think the OP should pass.
<< <i>Newsman.....I agree 1,000% with you. These people are in the business, they should know that a coin will fetch more $$ slabbed than it will without plastic wrapped around it, thats the way it is, and we all know it. However, if it were in a slab, that coin would never be in an ad in CW or NN....it would have traded off or been sold to someone else that would be looking to take advantage of the plastic and get all they could for it....and according to CU price guide, this coin in AU is about a $10,000 coin (no clue on this series, so the $$ could be off, but I think my point is understood here). Also, if its AU, with a 'Bold Strike', why are they only trying to get XF $$ for it? Boy, I'll bet they cant WAIT to unload that coin..... >>
Yeah, that's the point. It's always funny to watch worms squirm and hear the excuses they make up when they get caught trying to cheat someone. I had a dealer once tell me that "people pay more for raw coins" because -- as he put it -- the TPGs were just a racket designed to cheat collectors. Of course his table was loaded end-to-end with cleaned, overgraded, overpriced junk.

On occasions -- with a top auction firm selling off a known and respected "old time collection" -- raw coins actually can sometimes get more because some people may overestimate what the grade would be when slabbed. Of course, those are the exceptions which prove the rule.
