   Question by Walkerlover · December 24, 2023 12:32AM · Home› U.S. Coin Forum

   I am considering buying something from them in their EBay auctions, but am wondering if their photos are photoshopped or over exposed. Any feedback appreciated on the quality of their coin as well. Thanks Coin photos below

   I paid them a substantial amount of tuition, back when I was still learning. DON'T buy raw from them. Certified is 'OK' just as long as they don't use stock photos, which I really don't know if they do or not.

   I purchased exactly 1 coin from them. It was ANACs proof Washington quarter and honestly it was fine. The condition of the coin matched the image and they shipped it no issue. I wouldn't buy anything raw from them personally though I really only buy raw coins from a handful of people online.

   My experience has convinced me that I can go the rest of my life passing on anything they have to offer. There are a few other sellers that have given me the same experience and no matter what I see that they have to offer, I know without a doubt that I can live without.

   I have made a decision not to purchase any coins from GSC because of their business practices noted above. That decision was tested this week as they have a Pattern Trade Dollar in a PCGS holder for sale on eBay that I wanted, but it was overpriced, so it was an easy decision not to make the purchase.

   Certified items no problem. But I won't even consider bidding on their raw coins.

   As others have said you’d probably be ok with a slabbed purchase, but personally I would skip over it out of principle. Very common coin in common condition, I’d rather give a more reputable dealer my business.
