    Don't know about the seller, but the coin in the linked auction looks awfully like a polished XF.

    I really hope the coin linked is not one you are thinking of buying. That is a polished VF priced at XF please keep looking it will be out there.

    YES,

    image I think many of the pics look polished or VERY clean. But I wanted other opinions. They are a top seller, with reasonable FB. I didn't lookup NEG FB.

    You'd be there a while wading through all the negs in the last 12 months.

    Not argumentative, but why not?

    LAZY,
    I'm not even sure if my link to the checker is valid anymore.
    Haven't been ebaying for a while.

    You can go to their feedback page on eBay and click right on the number of negs. Here's what you get.

    edited to add... FWIW, this is the latest neg: "Sells whizzed coins polished with a wire wheel! Do no business with this seller!"

    Search this forum for that seller name. There was a thread just this week about them and it's very telling......

    A few random selections :

    Not the same coins as pictured

    Wrong coin shipped, looks like a common theme with this seller. Buyer beware!

    Item received was not the same item as pictured.

    Sent me a different coin than pictured. SUPER NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

    and my personal fav

    Very SLOW delivery, and to Quote him "he is not in the coustomer service busines

    ALL RIGHT,

    I should have looked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know how they maintain a 99.6 TOP SELLER rating with FB like that!

    I'm glad I asked though. image

    Sheer volume , it's a loophole that's long been there.

    I'm going to post a WTB thread on the BST with specific dat/mms I need. If you have Walkers for sale, also a couple Mercs I need.

    << <i>Sheer volume , it's a loophole that's long been there. >>

    I think that's only part of the answer. Volume won't help you if all you sell is crap and everybody can tell.

    From looking at their listings, one thing in their favor is selling mint/proof sets, as there's not a lot of dispute over what those are. Plus- it doesn't hurt that lots of buyers really aren't very good at grading, so they end up accepting stuff they probably would be better off returning.

    edited to add... should have said "misdescribed crap" above. Nothing wrong with selling "crap" if everybody knows the score.

    Thank for the info guys,

    Kept me from puttin my foot in. image

    Darn shame though. Many of the pics that look polished also look like they were in good condition before the polishing. image

    They probably were. Unfortunately, lots of buyers like shiny coins. Not that I'm saying the seller is the one making them shiny, of course.
