I won this nickel on auction last night. It will probably be a week or more before I get it in hand. From these photos what do you think it may grade? Thanks for all opinions!   |

Personally, I would never buy from this company, which is known for doctoring its photographs.

 . The reverse especially looks like some hits have been smoothed out. Might be okay, but it will be helpful to post some images once you receive it. Hope it works out! |

I would love to see the images, when you have it in hand.

Stay far from this dealer.

GSC does not have a stellar reputation within the mainstream coin community. Well known for doctored photos and questionable authenticity. Tread lightly, do your homework and do not accept coins that do not meet YOUR standards and expectations.
We will be patiently waiting for you to post pictures of the coin when you receive it. Thanks!

The other thing about GSC is they do have a large following of people nearly 18,000 subscribers and almost everything they sell sells at a premium relative to just about any other dealer on ebay. And as said, lots of doctored photographs and doctored coins. |

I slowly scrolled down viewing your wonderful coin than spotted their logo, said out loud "Oh boy" my gfriend replied "why what happened everything ok" I said " I don't think so but we'll see in a few days"
I foresee a return in your future.

No way to know what that coin really looks like with those juiced photos.

CSC may have a large following, but I doubt many of them understand what they're buying. I have personally compared 6 different coins from GSC to their posted images and the photo enhancements are clear in every case.
Great Southern Coins is one of the most deceptive coin dealers on the internet.

If anyone questions if it is the same coin from the original photos, it is. It has the same RPM and die crack through FIVE CENTS, that can be seen on all of the photos.

Thanks for posting the pics of the coin after you received it. GSC hasn't changed and won't. The seller ranking they have won't change. As long as they accept returns and comply with eBays "policies" ebay will leave them alone. With eBays "Feedback" enhancements you can now add pictures of what you actually received to the feedback you leave for GSC. Whether it will show up or stay around is a whole different story. In other words —- it's pretty much still business as usual! |
