If you can recreate the exact lighting, your coin will look like the pictures. Unfortunately, that lighting is usually hard to come by and therefore your coin will look a bit worse in hand than in their pictures, I have found. I factor that in before I bid on GSC coins. (Bump down the perceived grading of that coin one notch and that's pretty accurate.) They do have a good selection generally so I wouldn't totally stay away from them. They just have "optimistic" pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/21/2009 8:01 pm I'm a bit on the pessimistic side when it comes to purchasing anything via the internet. Especially ebay. And the problem with asking that question about good dealers, that too is rather a possilbe risk. The reason is you don't know who is doing the recommending. Well may be an employee of the dealer they are bragging about. Then too many blurt out the name of a dealer with no or very little actual, personal experience, only what they heard from someone that heard it from someone. I really would ignor suggestions about great on line dealers from people you don't know. They really have nothing to loose if wrong. One of my problems with dealers or almost any organization is when new, many have great deals, fantastic prices, wonderfull services. Then as their buisness grows, some or most of this vanishes since now they know there are many others out there that may buy, buy, buy. I've seen this with coin stores in my area over the years. Also, with grocery stores, furniture stores, department stores, etc. Possibly one of the many reasons so many go out of buisness. My usual suggestion is to try to find coin shows in your area. If there are any, go there. Also, check for coin clubs in your area. And of course members right here. I don't think I've really heard anyone complaining about a deal with a member on this forum.

tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 10/22/2009 4:05 pm Yes Carl I know what you are saying, I have had very good experiences with a few online dealers,only a few I was not really happy with and would not do business with them again. E Bay I really don;t like at all, I know there are a few very good dealers there but they have to be weeded out of the rest and I don't have the patients for that. I do most of my buying at shows, there I can see and handle what I am buying, but there are always times I have to buy online. Tony Tony Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 11:18 pm And I really don't know why this happens so often but over the years I've seen it way to many times. And as I've said not just coins but many other buisnesses. One place I worked at was the greatest place on Earth for a while. Then they started hiring idiots for management as they grew. Those treated people pretty bad and eventually that place went out of buisness and clients tried to tell the owners why but as usual, didn't listen. A famous coin store I used to frequent almost weekly sold to someone and the place went downhill the same as so many other places. It just seams to be human nature to build something up and then run it down. Report this Post to the Staff
hippiebrian Valued Member United States 436 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 11:29 pm I just got an order back from APMEX, and am still very satisfied with the service. And no, I am not affiliated with them or any other shop or online dealer, I operate boilers. Report this Post to the Staff
