Based on a request, here it is. My seventh and final coin came in the mail today from AuctionKings on ebay. Ordered on December 14th arrived today 12/29/2022. Not sure myself, but I am pretty sure this is not the same dime I ordered, what do you think? LOL Fortunately, this was the only inexpensive coin I purchased from them, but three of the seven coins were not even close to what was described and shown in the auction listing, and the other four were not as bad, but definitely not as close to what was described and shown. Auction Title:1943 P Mercury dime! ABSOLUTE SCREAMER! GEM BU++++++THE BEST$$ WOW! NR Auction photos:  Actual Coin Received:    Edited by Shtiv

Sorry ,but I have to tell you the truth . You should have never bought or bided on that coin from those photos given by the seller . That is far from a gem bu screamer . So now you have it in hand ; Lesson learned ! To me the coin received would go in my junk silver box . Does the seller accept returns ?   |

They do, I have sent back two of the seven items already, I should send them all back tbh. This was only in-expensive item I have purchased from them and is not worth my time. My guess is that AuctionKings sends put junk if the fetch the dollar they were hoping for. Then when you leave anything other than positive feedback they guilt trip you and offer a partial refund. Absolutely crazy some of the crap I have received, this isn't the worst. Buyer beware with AuctionKings.

Crappy-looking coin with ED. Return it if you can.

Why do you continue to purchase from them?  Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

That seller is well known for using extensively altered photos and descriptions ranging from inaccurate to downright deceptive. Stay far away.

They have 11 neutral feedback all mentioning that the coin did not match the description. Oddly, they have zero negative feedback comments - but I know that some large sellers can get these removed by ebay.

That, and the old "contact me before you leave anything other than positive fb" with associated "here's some/all of your money back, but you can't neg me in return" or guilt-tripping the buyer "it's your fault, you should know better than to buy anything based on photos." ebay has done a great job of encouraging buyers to leave any feedback they want, as long as it's positive and all five star DSR's, and to neutral or neg a seller you have to really try pretty hard. Want to neutral or neg or leave less than 5 star DSR? Stop! Did you contact the seller? Did you contact the seller again? Are you SURE you want to not leave perfect FB? Really, really sure? Pinky-swear sure? Did you meditate on the emotions that might be causing you to feel this way? Remember, you should contact the seller first, and then wait a month or so to see if you change your mind, and then maybe, at that point, you might be ok to consider possibly thinking about maybe leaving a neg or neutral, but a neutral is bad too, mmkay, so don't do that either... At least we're not back in the dark days of buyer feedback ratings being given by sellers. Of course, then I wake up and some idiot is on TV offering "super rare" 1878-PMorgan Dollars in "about uncirculated" condition for only $219, or "circulated" for a measly $129, or something like that, so it's not confined to the Bay (or to in-person dealers, either, as seen elsewhere in this forum lately.)

I arrived with same initial conclusion as nickelsearcher. Why continue wasting money and time? I see these listing all the time and pass, I will not but from a seller who can not list the actual coin/s they intend to sell.
