Re: 1963 P Nickel FS? beautiful find
please don't take my comment the wrong way, but if you are having trouble distinguishing things like this you should probably slow down with purchases and spend more time on educating yourself. absent that you'll undoubtedly make mistakes which may end up costing you money as the scammers reel you in. -
Re: Beware of Seller
Actually its refreshing to see someone with trust. People on these boards routinely trust each other and send cards w/o payment. With all the scammers on ebay...we do not expect that here. An old saying...you never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression. So rethink your posting Curlybill -
Re: This doesn't look good, Beware Scam...

Re: New generation PCGS slab
<< <i>The seller edited out PCGS. He must have got notice from eBay? >> Note that they also now mention it as a key date and also removed the images that show the removed mint mark. Wasn't their a Scammer from SC that used draw out the possie all the time until they were banned on eBay. -
Re: Chiseler's Delight

That tells me that some are falling for them, and losing real money. My advice to buyers, unless one is absolutely certain of who you are dealing with, always pay with a credit card, through… -
Re: Whadda ya think??

Re: Attack of the Newbie Buyers! - has everyone gotten lazy?
Seems like more reason to sell on the boards. About 85% of my purchases the last 6 months have been from boards or through email from people I have bought from in the past (most originally from the boards). Scammers can of course be here but it should be pretty easy to get some folks here to vouch.
