Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 02/28/2009 12:04 am All his auctions look a little strange to me. I'm not the best photographer when it comes to photographing coins, but I can do a lot better. Personally I wouldn't post a photo that is so blurry, you can barely see the coin or even the information on the slab. I'd stay away from this one, even if the slabs are authentic, you can barely see the coin inside. Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 02/28/2009 09:17 am I saw a PCGS slab for a missing edge lettering dollar that had been pried open and the coin inside replaced with one that had the edge lettering removed. It belonged to a dealer that I see at antique auctions from time to time. He said he was caught up in the moment when he bought it and didn't look it over very good until he got it home. You could see the bruising on the plastic where it was opened. Report this Post to the Staff
scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 02/28/2009 09:46 am The only thing this seller is openly guilty of is either having a lousy camera or bad photography skills. He's a power seller with perfect feedback, including a bunch left by Fred Weinberg. Insinuating he is selling fake slabs is irresponsible if you ask me. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 03/01/2009 2:57 pm Read the recent article in this weeks Coin World. You will see how ebay does not care to remove these people or the auctions from their site. They are just interested in profit. More greed unfortunately. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

If you go through the link in my signature and be specific, they are pretty darn good. I've sent them a link to discussions here with proof that coins are fake and had them removed. Sometimes in as little as an hour. If you use the "Report" link in the auctions, unless it's a basic ebay rules violation, success is not so good. Report this Post to the Staff
