jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 4:45 pm I saw that ad as well. I have taken a look around the site and it looks interesting. I am curious what others may think of or know about it.

HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 5:12 pm I already have doubts, the first coin I clicked on, a 1859 BU IHC, and the picture was for a 1904. Hopefully the site is better than my laziness suggests. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 5:34 pm I just registered also, thanks for letting us know! Mostly the items are buy-it-now with inflated prices. There are a few auction style, some have reserves, some have high starting bid and a small number are low starting bid. So bargains may be hard to find. An interesting thing is that they have a separate category for certfieds and it is broken down by grade, not coin type, so finding a certified of a particular coin under the "certified" category will be hard. There are a mixture of raw and certifieds within specific coin types. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 5:35 pm Also, I came across at least one seller that I recognize from ebay, so maybe this is one of many sites that ebay sellers fled to. Report this Post to the Staff
norseman012 Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 6:07 pm Hi mycrob I came across one person too that is on ebay David lawrence who also has a Internet site as well. I think that things will change more and more as time goes by as far as it becomes more like ebay and they get more established and people start trusting this site. But I do have my eyes open for any bargins that may come up. Report this Post to the Staff
twjcpj Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 12/23/2008 6:16 pm I went to the site and clicked on a 1910 Lincoln. The picture was of a 1934 Lincoln, but I have seen the same thing happen on ebay. Tom Report this Post to the Staff
