Did I (almost) get burned? A close call.
Well the old saying is, if it's too good to be true it probably is. So I win this auction: 1880-CC $1 MS65 PCGS Morgan Dollars Almost immediately the seller marks the item payment received and wants me to pay his emailed invoice from a hotmail address. I paid thru Ebay (which thank God he did not collect) and instead he… -
I went to sell some coins back to a dealer,
that I had purchased over the years. Now I will start by saying that I have not bought any coins from this dealer in a while because I felt that they pushed the grading, and charged FULL retail. I should have sent theese coins back during the return period, but I did not. I sent them to the dealer there is a total of 4… -
Re: Long Beach Musings from Drunner--Yeah, LONG !!!
Sheeez . . I knew it. I talked with Blu62vette and he assured me pix are easy. Got to figure it out. I'll make a concerted effort . . .and I have a few little pieces of show and tell I'd love to post. Heck, after Charmy has done the Cecil B.

Re: I just came across this auction site on Coinsheetlinks. It is run out of Greece.
Drimiti - a whole forum was affected with his spam. To me, regardless of what intention that was for is nothing more than a spammer, regardless of legit or not. >>> Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 05:56:53 -0600 Hello gxseries You received the following message from: panosbaba (info@alibabacoins.com) At:… -

Re: Did you all see the new PayPal refund policy?
I had not had a return in ages then a guy returns a $500 coin out of buyers remorse - nice coin totally blindsided. Needed the money to pay tax bill. After getting the coin back issued refund. It took them 2 days get the money from my bank account on the refund transaction (had already been transferred not anticipating he… -
Re: The coin collecting hobby: would it be as fulfilling without the bad stuff?
Coin collecting for those of us on a budget is like tiptoeing through a minefield. Some of the biggest advertisers on eBay, Coin World, and Numistmatic News are inveterate overgraders. The subjectivity of grading and large price spreads between adjacent grades of a single issue make the crackout game popular. There are… -
Re: Latest email from Moderncoinmart looks like spam to me
Here's most of the rest......they really are sinking lower and lower....these reads like any of a dozen sleazoid internet scammers to me. "Many of you last year purchased the Dutch Lion set last year. It was one of if not the hottest release last year. Very fast sellout. This year they are continuing the series with a new… -
A (tardy) PAN Show Report
A little late, but hey. PAN is the state show of the PA Association of Numismatists held twice a year in Pittsburgh. For the first time, the club instituted an online auction (ably managed by CoinZip) and the items were on display at the show. Probably about 100 tables and I counted at least 5 new dealers. The vast… -
Re: The biggest shocker at a coin show
While helping PTVETTER at his PAN show table a few years ago, an older guy stopped at the table holding a handful of coins wrapped in an old rag and asked if they were worth anything. Said his father had them in a box in the garage for years. I saw a few dug and corroded colonials that were barely identifiable, and one…
