I agree with the first comment - run. Perhaps the third party grader is great and accurate - unfortunately I don't know. The rest of the items are not graded and you don't even know the dates. This is just a bit too blind for me to pony up nearly three hundred dollars.

I like the way the auction states "1 Certified MS66 Morgan dollar"... certified by whom, exactly? Another one-man grading service? I see the picture of the Morgan they have on there is certified by NTC. I know if I had that many certified Morgans, I'd be showing a PCGS or NGC MS66.. and not just one picture..

There are so many red flags on this auction and the seller that my eyeballs have turned red. Besides the lousy feedback and the questionably "certified" MS-66, the seller has "private" for bidders, has claimed that the coins are "unsearched" (yeah, and I'm selling that bridge that has so much history), and that each group of coins has a minimum "book value" (whose book?). His glorious images obfuscate what he is actually selling by only showing the highest quality coins. I'd definitely bet the farm that almost every coin in every lot is junk, worth little or nothing more than melt.

Don't run away from this guy. Flee on wings!

I would avoid this seller. In addition to the 5 negatives and the 18 withdrawn, take a look at the number of neutrals:

Their shipping is okay, but the auction is private. This is always a bad sign. Also, I have a problem with sellers who sell these types of "collections" and show pics in the auction of high-grade examples and then you get an average circulated coin. They also use the word "rare" entirely too many times. These are common coins.
