Zack, SINCE YOU HAVE, WITHOUT PERMISSION, introduced and mentioned my store in a false and negative light, it is only fair to offer this post here to set forth the truth, and have my say.


Under the First Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution, no one needs your permission to say what they think of you.

I think Zack is being very truthful. negative, but quite correct in it.

The last SGS "MS70" coins I saw (didn't buy of course!)looked not much better than some of my junk silver.

StevesGiftShoppe, memtone-mercantile or what ever name you are going by these days, I have a couple of questions for you and would appreciate your answer.
First, how do you personally know there is NO connection between Abon and SGS?
Second, how or by what authority do you think gives you the authority to tell anyone to "not tell anyone to stop buying from me"?

An answer to these question would be appreciated. Talk to me Steve!

While we're communicating, Steve, and along with your answers to Dan's questions, would you be willing to explain why your sales almost inclusively include coins graded by a company which any knowledgeable numismatist wouldn't deal with? It's somewhat fatuous of you to claim to be a seller of various slabs, because anyone with a right index finger can click on your feedback and see what you are, if not who you are.

Having said that, I am genuinely interested in communicating here, and as evidence of that, I'm going to make you some money with something you already own. My ebay username is wipped. A short time ago, I contacted you about a certain coin - the record will still be in your messages. I chose not to buy that coin, basically because at this point I lack the money to.

I was willing to give you your asking price not because I believe it's anywheres near the MS66 SGS thinks it is, but because it's a Condition Census VAM. I was going to buy it, crack it, and turn it over raw (I already own one as nice, or better). Even raw, it's worth twice what you could sell it in any SGS holder, because the target audience for such a coin is composed of people who won't deal with SGS.

I'll leave the attribution to you, and don't say that this forum treated you wrongly when we merely point out the truth.

Somebody else (not me) did quite a good bit of research on another forum. Here's the link: http://www.another forum.org/showthread.php?p=132068#post132068
I think it's the third post down.

well stevesgiftshop I may not agree with you but it is nice to see the other side, I for one will not buy anything on ebay or other, unless its from some one I know from here, I dont trust Pcgs let alone a SGS company,I dont owe you or zakegold my allegieance so there for I feel my opionion is un-bias. you mentioned a cease and disist order you are talking legal terms here, when claiming such, make sure you have the legal backing to it. I say down with ebay personally.. Antiquecollector the problem with the US constitution that I swore to defend, is everyone has ther own interpration of it, and if people truly read it and understand it, this country would be better, this is not an attack on you, I am just saying with the right amount of money people can have the constitution mean what ever they want

So you bought an SGS graded coin at MS-70 and PCGS regraded it at MS-70? Are you serious?

That's fantastic! PCGS certified 13 of 2005-P Lincolns at MS70 and 2 of 2005-D Lincolns as MS70 and you have one of them! That's fantastic for a 13 year old! Way to go!

I would recommend that anyone who has purchased an SGS coin read this thread:

"Buyer Beware"

If you can't take 5 mintues and do some research on what you are thinking about buying on ebay, then too bad, flush your cash down the drain.

As an ebay purcahser you should spend the 5 minutes it takes to review feedback, previous sales, other items for sale, location of the item, and then use COMMON SENSE!

Signed,

Bryan

Come on guys, cool it

I am concerned that my fellow collectors, and worse yet, new collectors, are being rooked.
