Probably does it himself... Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 07:38 am It looks like it's been plated more than being polished. Love those full bands. , there is one guy bidding on this that should know better. I'm surprised the seller is not calling it gem bu full mint luster. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 07:44 am The very definition of a "whizzed" coin. Nothing more. I can't believe it's at $5.50. Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 07:44 am Yet he still has 100% on almost 3k feedbacks. Report this Post to the Staff
carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 08:47 am CSOTUS, it makes sense that he would have 100% feedback. The people who know enough about coins to leave negative feedback on a coin like that aren't buying coins like that in the first place. Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 10:00 am He seems to sell a lot, so I doubt if he'd listen to any advice. As long as there are both uneducated sellers and buyers, this type of stuff will happen. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 10:06 am I think carold nailed it. This guy has found his niche Report this Post to the Staff

Cause if anyone else did, I would seriously question the credibility of your club's members! Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 1:02 pm LOL. Just noticed this: Quote: This 1944-P Mercury dime has been restored using our proprietary museum quality restoration process. If you would like one of your Mercury dimes restored, please contact us for pricing. I wonder if he discounts if I send my entire collection. Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 1:34 pm There is a dealer on ebay who regularly dips and recolors his Lincoln Cents. If they turn out right he sells them as Gem bu Reds. If they sorta come out right he sells them as "Questionable Color". If they don't come out at all looking right; he admits they are cleaned, but then points out how amazing they look. Which, to be fair, they usually do look pretty good. But, my lord, his prices for coins that he admits are cleaned.....let's just say that the RedBook would be embarrassed to advertise those prices. Report this Post to the Staff
