The Number 1 Coin Scam on EBAY!!!

I wish I had seen this vid a week ago! I actually bought a 1922 Peace $ from them and was really, really looking forward to seeing this coin in person. Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed that what I received was not exactly like the coin they advertised on eBay! Granted, I realized most sellers often times than not will photoshop/edit their images to make the item more appealing. And eBay continues to allow this practice to continue. But this seller seemed quite reputable which is why I bought the coin. It is quite difficult to make a determination of the item without seeing it in person so unless it's someone you wholeheartedly trust and kno, it's a risk sight unseen per se. But I only paid $46+ for a prwtry common date coin so I shouldn't have expected much. It is what it is...

His whole business model is that maybe only 20% of the people return the coins. So yah he takes a $10 loss on those coins but when you rip off the other 80% of people at 2-5x what a coin is worth you still make a killing

i think shill bidding is the biggest scam, nasty big dealers open multiple accounts bid on their own junk.

Denver coins recently purchased a Hawaii coin that was certified cleaned in a pcgs holder. They than cracked it out and sold it raw as original for 2x the price

I've had my eye on this guy for a long time now. I've only been into coins for a few years but I was suspicious of his pictures immediately. He's a fraud.

They have been known not in a good way but still selling like nothing bothers them unfortunately.

The Seller is still paying 13.25% on ebay's final value fee. That first coin that sold for $2375 he's actually ending up with $2030. The idiot Buyer is Paying $2575 for it when you include sales tax of .08%. $545 dollars vanishes into thin air. Yeah, don't buy anything like this off ebay.

I’ve made the mistake of buying from Denver Coins in the past. Never again.

I have seen this seller & was super surprised by the 100% feedback rate

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.

I’ve seen this same exact background used for this seller online but for a 1909-s vdb the guy has good reviews? But I still don’t know what to think of if he alters his image a bit. Only thing I could think of is him buying details slabs and selling them raw?

This does look very suspicious. I agree, if the coin is so great then get it graded. I would not buy something like this. Thanks for pointing these listings out.

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.

When it comes to coins or any other sort of valuable, just remember this ----------- 'All that glitters is not gold' These scammers use your own 'lustful eye' to lure you in. Dangling rare baubles in front of you like apples in the Garden of Eden. Variations on this theme exist in every field of collectibles - from artworks to rare books etc - They rely on your own willingness to be duped.

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

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 "

I avoid Denver coin company, Morgan Dealer, and Auction Kings. Their photos speak for themselves though. I really only buy slabs on eBay for this reason.

So, if the guy has a good return policy AND a 100% feedback rating AND you are paying over 2000 Dollars for ONE coin, whose fault is this really??

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%.

To me, it looks like he lifted the mint luster and added it to the original coin.
