This guy has been doing the same thing for years on ebay and ripped off over 100,000 customers who don't even realize it. INB (International Numismatic Bureau) is one of the worst self-slabber pocket change scam artists out there. You rarely see his pocket change grade less than MS or PR 70  Word to the wise. Stay away from INB!

Lol! This guy is a joke! has 35 negative feedback this month. And the metal detector find of all those "little safes"....he was working that gag about 7 or 8 years ago. Most of his negative feedbacks are from his "recently discovered old coins". It seems that his buyers don't agree that his 21st century crap is what they consider "old coins". I especially liked the one about the "hidden doorway" in the closet of tha abandoned house that led to a room full of valuable coins and stuff. About a week later I stumbled upon one of his junk auctions and sent him an email asking him if it was a part of the "hidden door in the closet" hoard Because I reallllllly wanted to bid on some of that hoard! He never returned my email! So sad! I actually put him in my favorite sellers with a note to myself "to never bid....just for a good laugh"!

That moron even posted a pic of a modern Chinese counterfeit. Look at the 1794 dollar he has pictured. Right in the center it says "COPY" LOL!

These are the slabs you buy when looking for a coin to fill a spot in a collection. They are break out coins, and for the money you won't get perfect coins but at least nice enough to fit into a spot here or there. The only shame is beginners to the hobby believe what they read and think that they are getting something special. Not the was to bring more into the hobby.

What is up with the positive feedback? The same accounts will leave the same message again and again. I assume this is to push the negative feedback down the list. Is there some sort of service that bad sellers can pay for that will do this for them? Why does ebay no limit the number of feedbacks a seller can get from a single buyer in a single day?

'The safes are not included, we will just open up the FORT KNOX bank and pour the coins into a zip-lock bag and mail to you. We cannot tell what is inside, so it is sort of a bold risk on your part to bid.'
im sorry but if your that much of a sucker to get involved in this scam you had it coming.

There's a sucker born every minute. And judging by the volume that he's doing he's found a way to attract all of them!

I've bought from this guy, but for $13.00 or so,knew what I was getting. I ended up making 38 dollars at a yard sale off of the group of coins I bought from him,and still had about half of them left that didn't sell.I put them in a box,and marked them $2.00 a piece and they sold pretty well. I often wonder how many don't realize that these "Finds" are just a way this guy makes his sales more interesting. As for the 3 slabbed coins in the lot I received,I have to agree,pretty poor quality. One of my slabs actually was in pieces,split apart when I received it. I have a feeling some people are out thinking they are getting a super deal. Not...  Tom Urban
