The obverse looks like it's been cleaned. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it's a problem coin that was cracked out of a details holder from a reputable TPG. |

On ebay negative feedback is so rare/ discouraged. The guy has a 99.4% rating, but I'm sure superdave is correct. I've read basically not to buy from someone with less than 99.8%. I think there is something to that. Some sellers have 10,000+ sales and ZERO negatives or neutrals. By ebay standards this guy has a huge amount of bad feedback. |

That's why I rely on Toolhaus. http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?Us...+by&ref=homeA lot of people keep the crap they buy from him because they're not privy to what original surfaces look like. It's one of the great blemishes on the face of this excellent hobby that thieves like Centsles are allowed to operate on major sites like ebay, robbing people left and right with impunity. If I ever saw him in person, I'd be very tempted to deliver a swift kick to his crotch. Edited by chasingtailbar

This Seller has a lot of "pull" with ebay due to the volume he sells. Most likely, he has a dedicated account rep that lets him "slide by" on a lot of issues. Stay away from him. |

Wow what a ****. I'm glad you guys told me. I just rec a package today with a proof morgan that wasnt in the box. You can see the bottom was clearly cut out and re sealed. The seller all but accused me of being behind it and pulling a scam. His reasoning is he has a million positive feedback and its never happened before. I found that insulting and called ebay. I wonder if I will get the same trearment as he is a power seller. |

He's a real piece of work. It will catch up to him eventually. Always does.

I suspect that word has already travelled in your locale that you have or are actively seeking valuable coins. Or, the shipper of the Proof Morgan sent it by a less secure service than Registered, which is what I would have arranged for with the seller, or no deal. An insured 1st class parcel with a high priced PVI (Postage Value Indicator) is an open invitation for a dishonest Postal employee to target. It happens quite frequently, especially with regard to casual temps. that work for the Postal Service. Also, if the seller of the Proof Morgan insured your coin properly, then they have no reason to accuse you of a scam. |

Stick with PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG.
When I ship coins of substantial value, not only are they signing for it, but I also know when it arrives with tracking/insurance.
My packages are taped very well to prevent possible postal employee theft.
