Wow that's horrible. The sad thing is, that it probably was a newbie who bought it after they were looking it up on the PCGS price guide. I wonder if they'll give up the hobby once they find out how much money they lost...

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...110132379942It reminds me of times when I'm fly fishing and I've dropped a juicy-looking grey grizzly on top of the water and I keep catching the same fish over and over and over again, yet the fish doesn't realize it's been caught so comes back for more. Thinks it's getting an easy meal. As long as it doesn't swallow the hook...

How is it his feedback has only 1 negative & over 300 positives? Is everyone asleep at the wheel?

I'm a noob and I can even tell it's not "Proof Like", unreal that anyone would pay for that. Maybe he generates the labels himself? Do people attempt to fake them? Anyone seen a fake PCGS label?
Noob question...what's a "slabber".

Noob question...what's a "slabber".
Basement slabber - Someone that buys hard plastic holders resembling the top three TPG's holders, prints out a label naming their service, and immensely over grades their coins that they put in them. I believe most use Coin World holders which can be purchased at various supply stores. If you haven't read this yet Thad, there are only three respected third party grading companies out there. In order of resale value/respect/honored on the market, they are PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. ICG places a close fourth. ANACS will slab problem coins. Cleaned, etc. The other two I don't think will. Instead they will "body bag" a coin and return it to the submitter with the reason. You will see numerous "basement slabbers" with names that are close to these three to try to suck in buyers that are not paying attention. Be very careful when buying any slab other than the 4 listed above. |

I don't know, I kind of like the gunshot wounds to her face. It gives the coin a lot of character.   Seriously, though, that is a real crime. I don't have words to express my unhappiness with those kinds of people. What a slime! |

I won an auction with this scammer and the coin I won on auction was in pretty good shape and I would have got a good deal, but she never sent the coin and after I emailed her 10 times with no answer as to where it was I opened a dispute suddenly she responded to dispute saying "I explained that I mailed to wrong person and now she has it back, no way was I going to take the coin. Sure enough she re-listed the coin she was going to send me and it was about 5 grades down from the one I won. I left neg. and she hounded me everyday to withdraw neg. feedback but I would not she has 53 mutual withdraws!! I just waited for paypal to refund.

Hello Julie A Aronson, I'm glad you were able to get your refund. That's another point in favor of using PayPal to protect yourself when shopping on ebay. It also sounds like this seller richly deserved their negative feedback.  By the way, welcome to the forum!  |

I'm glad people got redress from these obvious scammers. You're right...this is the worst case of "grading" I've seen , although some dealers often pull this kind of stuff--without slabbing. This problem is going to get a lot worse when forged PCGS/NGC slabs hit the market in quantity. Edited by KurtS

That's just terrible. WCG is definitely going at the top of the list of bad coin graders.
