I think this is the guy with his own grading company...
How does one get away with this really blatant overgrading? The pictures are not good, but I don't even think the coins are MS...and can anyone tell if they're cleaned?

Can you tell by the photos if the gold is cleaned too?

The guy sells on ebay too. Yes the coins are all harshly cleaned and overgraded. By an NAC holder and kiss your $$ goodbye. He preys on the uniformed and unsuspecting ... and seems to have an unending supply of customers.

SeatedNut said exactly what it is, preying on the uninformed. If you look around on ebay there are a ton of people just like this, if not worse, hoping that some new collector will jump at the chance and pay an arm and a leg for scrap. At least when I did it I did not lose anything and the coins were worth what I paid but not what was quoted.

If it is not from one of the big companies, then do NOT trust it and I would not buy it. When it comes to gold and older pieces there are a lot of fakes, cleaned and switched items. This guys site contradicts itself in the way he lists if you read all the text, if you only have a handful of coins to offer then there should be no mistakes at all.
Rest in Peace

This forum does a great job of informing the uninformed, that ask for information and enlightenment. What more could be done to put information in front of those that don't ask?

CCF is usually right there at the front of the queue if you just google.

I thought ebay said they only allow PCGS and NGC coins as certified? Anything else has to be sold as raw?
