I bought a very nice 1840 ND Liberty Seated half dime from them a few months ago that was an extremely nice coin, and accurately described. I have had no problems with them.
They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
I've bought coins from them that were described as original but were obviously cleaned. Clear misrepresentation! I ignore all of their auctions now. It's not worth the disappointment and hassle.
Edited to add that I know of others who feel the same way about this dealer.
I've bought from them many times on eBay with no issues, and several times in person at some of the Florida shows they set up at. The actual business name is A Penny For Your Thoughts
I look at their stuff and would buy slabbed stuff from them, the raw keys look like problem crack-outs to me, although that is just my opinion, I don't know.

I've never bought any coins from them that weren't certified but if they're selling key dates raw then it's very likely they may be problem coins. One thing I don't like is they don't accept returns.

I believe I have bought something as well. No problems as far as I remember.

In fact, one NGC coin I got subsequently upgraded when I cracked it out and sent to PCGS. (Very unusual experience!)
I buy far less from them now days since they now have the NO RETURN policy.
