The dealer on that coin always puts his coins on top of some kind of old check,computer cleaned and I'm amassed how they get bids,also watch out for morgandollardealer,Ebay needs to do something about that,but they won't,so educate yourself before you jump into this hobby,sellers like this disgust me.
I can't believe he has 100% feedback. Usually these scammers would be at somewhere around 90% or 92%. He has to be working his butt off to maintain that 100%.
I sold him an 1894 o that was graded unc details. The coin looked fantastic except for an obverse wipe. He cracked out the coin and put it in auction without disclosing the issue. However, he actually ended up selling it for about how much he bought it from me for so he certainly lost money after fees.
Thank you Jadon. But I disagree - I think the most common scam on E-bay is selling coins with no mint mark and telling buyers they are a mint error, and are rare. Only the 1922 Lincoln cent, and 1982 Roosevelt dime are rare, that have no mint marks. Second biggest scam is selling coins with unremarkable dates and telling buyers they are rare.
@@johnrico1174those are definitely some very popular scams on eBay. I can definitely see anyone making a case for those being so,e of the biggest scams out there. The “rare errors” that are usually just damage. Thank you for the feedback!
Yep, that is another one. I bought an ASE that was NGC graded at an MS70 off ebay, just the dings and other things on the OBV would have knocked 8-10 points off the grade, the reverse was just as bad, slab wasn't counterfeit, NGC serial number and label were good, sent it back of course to the shop that sold it told them first I couldn't believe that a shop owner tried to sell this thing without knowing about the damage, the dings were easy to see without magnification, I could see a shop owner paying spot for it and crackin it out, but a coin shop owner selling that coin still slabbed for a much bigger amount when it wasn't an MS coin anymore even though it didn't have circulation wear and it being .999 silver, the minutest of scratches and dings, are very easy to see with minimal light, there's nothing like the reflection of pure, freshly scratched AG.
Bought three morgans from this seller before. Two coins were nice but nothing like the pictures: one graded 64 and one 65. The third coin was cleaned and I returned it. Stopped buying from them because I like to see what I’m buying and their pictures are deceiving.
@@paulst6862 thank you so much for sharing your experience! That’s disappointing that they doctor their coins to make them better than what they really are.
I won a bid for a 1931s lincoln cent. The coin looks exactly as pictured. In my opinion the coin could grade ms66 red all day long a $3000 dollar coin and I paid a fraction of that. I have bought other coins as well and am very please with this seller. Like another commenter said, "buy one first and judge for yourself "
@@123chesss thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad you were happy with your purchases. Most of the feedback I have received from others who have bought from this seller has not been as good. I think the seller does enhance his pictures of the coins but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good coins he is selling. This is why I stick to buying graded coins on eBay.
Seller doesn't guarantee any grades to buyers. I agree he is manipulating the photos, if your spending thousands of dollars without actually seeing 👀 coin your not a smart buyer. I get more upset with people selling garbage coins at thousands saying they are rare or mint errors. Like Bicentennial quarters or S.B.anthony.
@@paulbowman1442 you make some great points. There is definitely some fault that falls on the buyer for willing spending absurd amounts of money for a raw coin you can’t see in person.

I went to eBay and looked at this seller, and while I didn’t look at the coin that you’re pointing out in the video. I did look at many of the coins and at least the ones I looked at show flaws peace dollars.
@@TheSquaredM yes, I agree. The seller doesn’t seem to hide the hits on the coin. It’s the lighting he is using and how he is manipulating the overall finish of the coin to make it look better than what it really is. With how he pictures the coin you really can’t tell if it has been cleaned or not.
Why don’t you buy one from him and see how it is. You are able to return it …someone with 100% feedback you can’t say scam …. So buy it see how it is then you can say it’s a scam or not

Seeing as how I actually purchased something from this particular seller, I do have first hand experience that what he advertises isn't exact what you are getting. However, perhaps calling this seller a "scammer" might be a bit harsh. If they were selling fakes/counterfeits, than scammer is deemed appropriate. If they sold you something and never deliver the actual item, then yeah, a scammer, etc...but they didnt so any of this. If anything, individual(s) who edit/modify images of the items they are selling, they are skirting the eBay seller etiquette. And unfortunately, this is prevalent and eBay allows this. I always say when it comes to eBay purchases/selling, it's always buyer/seller beware!
@@derekm3826 yeah, I believe these type of sellers are really taking advantage of collectors with unnatural photos that make the coin look better than what it really is. It’s disappointing but I hope people can learn to stay away from this scam.
Why, honestly I would if I need the money and still can get that, 100% feedback tho,? Sorry I cnt even get that and o give extra things and I never use lighting but natural, mayb he says all that and just goes to a coin place and gets the nicest stuff they have because he knows he's gonna make a killing on it anyway, it's all about wording and presentation, and I'm sorry that's bot a scam. A scam is selling something like all those Chinese sellers stating ur getting a silver eagle for 22-28 and then you have it tested and it's only plated, to call something else tho a scam because he is maximizing his income tho, kinda sounds like jealousy to me since he priced you out of the coin your looking for, and sorry u cnt even say price gouging because his is thousands less than the graded ones like u say and may b he knows also that is the only way it will sell because all those ridiculous expensive graded ones shouldn't b on ebay n e how, they just sit forever, they shld be at auction houses
@@trailhiker8063 I’m definitely not jealous. I’m just trying to educate people on what kinds of sellers and listings to look out for when shopping online.

This guy has also changed his name multiple times over the years. Use to go by Goldstandardguy the he went by Coindoctor lol. He had the bottomless safe that was “found in a old pottery barn “
He got me once early on and I’ve really hated him ever since.
Buy only graded coins (ANACS, PCGS or NGC)
@@Alan1234x yes, I agree. It’s best to buy graded when buying online in general.
maybe the mofo gets zero returns holy crap
@@davidbell9130 haha I bet he gets a good amount of returns. He offers a 30 day free return policy. That’s probably why his feedback is so good.
I purchased several and they always looked cleaned but he did take them back I don’t purchase his coins anymore.
@@dontsleepable618 thank you for sharing your experience. I think this is why he has been able to maintain such a high feedback rating. He always accept returns with no questions so he is able to avoid poor feedback.
Thanks for posting this scammer
@@philipfranklin8273 thanks for watching. Many people wouldn’t consider this a scam but it really is because the coins listed will not look like the pictures. It’s so common to see this on eBay but people still fall for it:(
Your volume is way low. I have an audio booster on my phone, so that helps.
Great video though!
@@DrMatey215 my apologies. I will look into that. Thank you!
I got a few from them and what I got was cheaper coins I don’t buy raw coins unless I know the dealer but I will say the coins I got was good but mine was small sample size
@@EricBynog-zd4rd thank you for sharing your experience. I can see people still getting some decent coins but it seems like their pictures are definitely manipulated.
Interesting- thank you
anyone paying that much for a raw coin, let them get el screwed
@@davidbell9130 yes, unfortunately people fall for it. I’m just educating coin collectors so they know what to stay away from.
Looks cleaned, no?
@@rasbobbo it’s possible but hard to tell since the pictures are manipulated. I’m sure he has sold a few cleaned coins that he said are bu or dmpl.
Interesting
@@M.RInvestorChannel thanks for watching
I heard about this scam
Buy graded coins only
@@EricBynog-zd4rd I agree. I almost only buy graded coins on eBay.
@@jadonnoble5621 yea well my problem with buying on EBay is over paying for coins I am so tired of buying coins and years later sell them and lose my tail it’s almost not worth it any more
I WOULD SAY BUY A COIN FROM THE SELLER FOR CHEAP TO SEE IF YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR BEFORE YOU CALL SOMEONE A SCAMMER. HAVE 100% SOLID PROOF BEFORE YOU BLAST SOMEONE ONLINE. JUST MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. ANYONE ELSE AGREE?
Because $2,400 is cHEaP. 🫠
No, I don't agree.
@@GardenerEarthGuy SO YOU JUST GO OFF THE FIRST ACCUSATION YOU HEAR?? AND CONDEMN THEM IMMEDIATELY???!!! FUNNY, I THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD GO TO COURT AS TO GET PROOF OF A CRIME HAVING BEEN COMMITTED.... BUT YOU WANNA TOSS THE SELLER IN JAIL WITHOUT ANY PROOF WHATSOEVER!! I HOPE YOU AREN'T A VOTER IN THE U.S.
@@EAGLEHORDER
I follow this channel for some time and have seen the many counterfeit coins posted. You need your uppercase words smacked back into that mouth you are running like a fool at an idiot convention.
Seeing as how I actually purchased something from this particular seller, I do have first hand experience that what he advertises isn't exact what you are getting.
However, perhaps calling this seller a "scammer" might be a bit harsh. If they were selling fakes/counterfeits, than scammer is deemed appropriate. If they sold you something and never deliver the actual item, then yeah, a scammer, etc...but they didnt so any of this.
If anything, individual(s) who edit/modify images of the items they are selling, they are skirting the eBay seller etiquette. And unfortunately, this is prevalent and eBay allows this. I always say when it comes to eBay purchases/selling, it's always buyer/seller beware!
I think you should buy one before being so critical, sour grapes much!
That's not Right
@@derekm3826 yeah, I believe these type of sellers are really taking advantage of collectors with unnatural photos that make the coin look better than what it really is. It’s disappointing but I hope people can learn to stay away from this scam.
Why, honestly I would if I need the money and still can get that, 100% feedback tho,? Sorry I cnt even get that and o give extra things and I never use lighting but natural, mayb he says all that and just goes to a coin place and gets the nicest stuff they have because he knows he's gonna make a killing on it anyway, it's all about wording and presentation, and I'm sorry that's bot a scam. A scam is selling something like all those Chinese sellers stating ur getting a silver eagle for 22-28 and then you have it tested and it's only plated, to call something else tho a scam because he is maximizing his income tho, kinda sounds like jealousy to me since he priced you out of the coin your looking for, and sorry u cnt even say price gouging because his is thousands less than the graded ones like u say and may b he knows also that is the only way it will sell because all those ridiculous expensive graded ones shouldn't b on ebay n e how, they just sit forever, they shld be at auction houses
You sound jealous of this seller. So you made a video and want hits. Thanks for click baiting me.
@@trailhiker8063 I’m definitely not jealous. I’m just trying to educate people on what kinds of sellers and listings to look out for when shopping online. To be honest, it’s best to only buy graded coins online anyways. Buying raw coins online is very risky and many of them like the ones I show are manipulated to look much nicer than what they are.
He's not making you by the coins if you're stupid enough to pay that for it. Too bad
Why do you keep saying r. AAW
Why are you belly aching for you? Sound like that guy on coin help you boohoo
