Re: Delete
Estate Sale and zero feedback is nearly as sketchy as it gets. As sigs nor grading are not authenticated Scammers have already figured out a way around eBay protection and in effect are getting their blessing. It will get worse -
Re: 1877 Indian head please give opinion
Ouch. I'm no genius but I've learned to look for red flags. No phone or way to contact him is one flag. A 20x is not the best way to get a feel for the coin initially. You need more like a 5x to see the coin in totality to make a first assessment IMHO If you're serious about buying raw coins with high value, then you need… -
Re: Certified coin scam on eBay with an old PCGS label insert...
By looking at the pictures, it's obvious they are selling the slab not the coin. I believe he/she is playing on the fact that PCGC is almost like PCGS (I know it's hard to make the connection, but there it is). Also, they show pictures of the slab NOT the DD coin that they claim they are selling. When you write, "This… -
Re: FSH: 2000 1 oz. Gold American Eagle
The question is, why wont PCGS do anything when stuff like this happens? It's happening on their site, they can check IP addys when a new user is signing up to cross ref. if the same IP is being used that was a proven scammer. Do they do this or do we assume they do this? Both ID's in question were new users with low… -

Re: 1956 D Wheat Penny. How can you tell normal wear from mint mistakes?
That eBay coin is damaged, and this is obvious to anyone who actually knows anything about varieties or mint errors. The person selling it on eBay for $2499 is therefore a scammer. Some signs pointing to this coin being damage and not an error are: - The metal inside the "damaged" area is much brighter and shinier than the… -
Re: Unbelievable How can this continue to happen, Don't dealers read what's happening in the industry
Police do care when they can act quickly. Police arrived at my door within an hour in an check fraud incident. But he was hot on the trail of the scammer who had jumped bail and was on the run. In my experience police are overwhelmed so it's doubful anything will happen to them until apprehended in the act. Across… -
Re: Severely ticked off. Am I Wrong?
Here's my take. First off, you're putting the cart before the horse. It's only been a few days so the item could very well show. I've had packages going from IL to Texas that showed up 2 weeks later. Some patience may yield results. Even if the item was insured for full value you have to wait 30 days to make a claim… -
Re: What is a current fair swap price for silver coin? Poll inside.
I would say 11x face is not measly, especially for one of the fly-by-night companies. It may not be the strongest number, but many of these scammers that set up in hotel rooms pay as little as 5-6 times face value. The top dealers are only paying 12-12.5x face at present. It's not measly when all the local dealers pay more… -
