So far not one bid on any of the 30 items listed. Quote: this poor sap got taken by Centsles on a number of coins and is trying to get some of his money back That was my first thought, and "best" case scenario IMO. Lets see what kind of feedback is given if anything ever sells.

I'll be gentle and let you come to your own conclusion over time, but IMO he's an ebay seller who is not very highly recommended here. There are plenty of threads on his coins, etc.

I've bought from Centsles and ignored his self slabbing grades. Be very careful.

Bump, looks like he changed his userid. I don't remember him being called securdeals, and he added a little statement on the profile about honesty. Still no seller feedback.  Yes, I realize I have no life following stuff like this

He used to be makeoffer14 according to his user id history. I agree with the statement that he likely was a regular customer of centsles. There is also the possibility that he sent raw coins to NNC to have graded. I think you can specify what grade you want on the label and there is no fear for a details grade.

Quote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/131252220362I see what he did there, not AU by any stretch of the imagination. Nor is this one UNC. as stated in the description, not even close with a weak strike. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-S-25C-...131247758103 How bout an F-Details and a XF Polished?  . . . . . . This guy is selling from Canada and to be honest, the only way I'd buy from him is if he had a key date coin for sale at a very baseline price, Something like a 1928 Peace dollar that coin be anywhere from VF-AU Details and I'd be paying a very cheap price, something like $100-$150 where you know you won't be losing money as long as the coin is real. That said, I think his coins are real, even if they're not problem-free.

Hey, he got some positive feedback for 2 sales. And away we go. Frightening.
