Re: can someone identify the date range for this PCGS holder? (Very important)
<< <i>Picture this scenario... Some person(s) drop into a major show (FUN, ANA, Long Beach, Baltimore) with a dozen such counterfeit slab & coins. Coins such as the one in the OP or any coin in the area of $1500-$2500 Greysheet Ask. Avoiding the major dealers, heading to smaller guys toward the back. At each of these… -
Re: Copper Melting...
In a nutshell, NO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL to melt, drill, elongate, cut or otherwise mutilate pennies or any other US coin. However it IS apparently illegal to destroy a US bank note! Also, other countries may have their own laws which prohibit destroying their coins. There should be a permanent FAQ about this somewhere, because… -
Re: I thought that this Forum is not for selling, I guess I am wrong.
Realone seems to make some valid points. i don't pretend to understand the situation fully or even at all since i never saw the thread(s), but i have a pretty fair idea of how the sharks that come visit here work and how the vultures that operate. it's simp[le, really, both sides are motivated by greed. this place is an… -
Re: US Mint Set Values-Shipping Box/Presentation Box
<< <i>The state of collecting in many ways is and always has been quite obsessive and compulsive. Perfection is sought in every way. It makes sense that issues of US Mint coin sets will fetch more upon resale if they are sold in the presentation boxes in which they were originally sold by the US Mint. But, I am told that… -
Re: Shop at home TV
<< <i> You dont have to break the law to be a crook. Crooks can be any kind of dishonest person who take advantage of others who are not in the know and are at a great disadvantage. These guys KNOW what they are doing. They KNOW the kind of uneducated people who watch these shows and buy their product. They ARE crooks in… -
Re: Man, is this suspicious or what?
What I'm talking about it the fact that he's been "selected" because he only has a feedback of 1. Don’t get me wrong it's a good thing that Ebay fraudsters are exposed through this forum, but just don’t drag someone’s rep and auction through the mud just because he doesn't sell 100 coins a day. That all :-) So you think he… -
Re: Need opinions on this Gold coin.....
there is almost always a reason why such a coin is not already in a holder Maybe ...it's aaaa... That it takes 3 months to get a coin back from certain slabbing companies???? That's a BIG reason that I don't get some coins graded - the process takes too long and is too expensive for a lot of coins. To spend an extra $30… -
Re: I got my 2 negs removed by eBay
They only removed them because they couldn't verify the ID of the users, not because of the retalitory actions of the scammer. In between they sent me this message after they said no they wouldn't do it and I asked for the email address of their supervisor. I'm still waiting for the Unpaid Item Dispute to go 7 days so I… -
Re: GAI grades trimmed cards????
Whenever an opportunity exists for someone to exploit something for personal gain, there are always people who will attempt to do it, and eventually, given enough chances, they will succeed, as is the case with the buy-trim-resubmit-sell for profit scammers mentioned in the other article. While these problems are expected… -
Re: Ths buyer is driving me crazy....
I had a similar problem. I sold a 79 OPC Gretzky RC about 3 years ago. It was authentic but in shabby shape that I listed as EX-MT. I'd say maybe a PSA 5 or 6 at best. Had a large scan of the card with the booger on his shoulder and you can clearly see the centering and edge problems. A guy in Canada purchased it for $125…
