XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 5:51 pm I managed to get some sort of low ball deal out of them on an ebay auction years ago, I have since paid for it with being incessantly bombarded by emails from them ever since. Report this Post to the Staff

dgleich Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 12/26/2019 12:14 pm I guess I am in the camp of being wary of GSC. Since coming back to the hobby after a few years away I have purchased perhaps 10 coins from them. Half were Buffalos that I feel I did very well on but I do have a few that I just received that are being returned. Those, mostly larger coins like Walking Liberty's, Standing Liberty's and Commemoratives were scratched. In all cases, they otherwise would have been fine aside for what appears to be more recent scratches. I suspect they cracked them out after they had been rejected. In all cases, I did not miss these in the photos rather their photos concealed the scratch. All were "superb gem" listings but they are not something I want with a glaring fresh scratch that does not even take magnification to see. It seems that with the smaller coins, being able to enlarge images on my phone, I can spot nearly hidden defects but on the large coins glaring defects seem to be hidden. Lesson learned I guess but a couple of the Buffalos ended up being very nice and nearly defect free. Report this Post to the Staff
NDBirdman Pillar of the Community United States 747 Posts	Posted 12/26/2019 2:33 pm If in a slab, bid accordingly. If raw, buyer beware! Yup, they burnt me a couple times as a newbie. I'm still learning but will never buy raw again without having it in hand. The company asked about, yea, they have some serious knowledge on how to make a coin photo look amazingly good, even for coins I would only consider for silver stacking. I bought one that looked amazing! Not a scratch/blemish anywhere according to their photo. I later sold it for silver content, had a deep gash across the check you could park a truck in. Yup, exaggerated a little but was very bad and turned out to be a polished coin on top of it.... I say don't walk but RUN away, very fast. Oh, after a terse e-mail back and forth, they offered a refund. Was not an expensive coin per say, so I just made sure it did not get back into their hands to sell to another rookie.
