[@Mbcoinsnet]

The coin is a common date. Reverse always looks better than the obverse. The coin has been dipped and whizzed. So you get what you pay for. The coin is worth 30 bucks since it has been cleaned so it's no bargin. They mosly likely have a bunch laying around that they paid 20 bucks for years ago. They have me blocked and I have them blocked on ebay. I think they suck and are not honest.

[@AndrewBurbo-zw6pf]

any item for sale is worth what you can get for it, he proved it was worth 42.99. now it's worth what he sell it for. probably about $35.

[@connervery5853]

It looks real

[@Samscoinsandheavymetal]

Last comment - if you’ve ever tried to take pictures of coins you would know it’s very easy to make a coin look a bunch of different ways depending on the angle and lighting. A very subtle adjustment tilting the coin 5° can make the coin look amazing and perfect The difference between me and a majority of these new sellers is I look for what’s bad and I highlight what is bad I try to tell people right up front these are the problems I do not accentuate the positives as much as what’s bad (haze, spotting, rim hits, etc.). I almost never sell a raw coin as “Gem BU”, only if I’m super confident the coin will grade better than 65 at PCGS and I send them hundreds of coins a year so if I think it will grade better than 65 chances are I’ll submit it anyway unless it’s too common like a 1940s or 1950s common date Washington quarter etc . I saw a guy selling a coin as Gem AU last night. It’s gotten ridiculous Does it hurt the amount of money my coins ultimately sell for? Yes - sometimes. But in other ways it gains customers Plus savvy and more experienced coin buyers know what they’re looking for anyways

[@Carrscoins]

And you never sale a thing.

[@vincentaurelius2390]

That’s my rule on presenting any items I sell, not just coins; under-promise and over-deliver. Better to leave a little profit on the table but end up with a customer that is thrilled they got more than they expected.

[@AmericanSilverAuctions]

Considering it's an AuctionKings coin, you didn't do too bad. This video is 2 years old and AuctionKings has gotten a lot worse. I got into stacking early 2023 and have seen a few horror stories featuring their photoshopped coins.

[@silveramorestackeranthony6671]

They sent me a Mercury that was not a GEM and Full Bands advertised. I gave them Neutral feedback and they immediately responded to offer me refund or compensate me.

Sorry that happened to you. That is why I am sharing my experience.

[@1998gst4611]

Exactly what they do. I question Auction Kings when i bought my Morgans thru them on why the pictures look flawless perfect with deep black foreground on the coin they claim a MS+++ BU DMPL and their reply was they use a lighting effect to make that deep black foreground to come out. I'm like why would you do that? So I sent back 8 of the 10 high priced morgans back to them especially the CC and S Mints and one 1878-P 8TF VAM 23 DMPL Cameo Gem over $5500 worth what I paid for,

I hope you get some MS64 or MS65 on your CC Morgan GSA and raw submissions. That would be awesome. Or even better maybe a possible PL or DMPL. That would be epic and then you can go to full time coin collecting and save your back just doing easy part time plumbing jobs.

Since you won the bid at only $38, you think they switched the coin with a lower quality?

Also. As a top rated seller myself selling fees for me are 9% on coins and around 8% on bullion PLUS my $28/month store fee. eBay also charges A FVF on shipping . So when I sell something for $100 +$5 shipping the FVF percentage is calculated on $105 not $100 Someone like them doing huge volume may get a better deal than the average Joe though One last hint - Do not just look at a sellers feedback in the top right corner on a desktop computer not the mobile app look at how many revised feedbacks the seller has that’s what you want to look for

I go in knowing that the quality is never the same as the picture, but I'd be hard pressed to do better for same price at a LCS. Definitely would never pay over $45 for there stuff, but I've managed to pick up some nice washington quarters, and couple Morgan's. Also I did return a coin with no Hassel and I'm not blocked. I didn't leave negative feedback, but they paid return shipping. They are definitely sketchy with photos, but so far everything was real.

The 1881S Morgan is one of the best struck years and mint of all Morgans. This one's been whizzed and polished, more so the obverse, since the reverse still has some luster. Hasn't been dipped or both sides would look like shit. Full disclosure: I've been burnt by the Auctionking, too. Never again.

[@pomme4moi]

The coin is real?

[@TheTradingChief]

I have bought probably 100+ coins from them what I've learned is that you have to buy the coins that have actual #10652 if it's a #k52 or whatever then it's being pulled from a sorted drawer. I went to there store front they wouldn't let me in saying it was a shipping address only in a very nice part of Scottsdale,AZ. Only way to get the actual coin photo is if it's slabbed or has a # and no letters. I also think the MS+++++ Is one sometimes two grades higher then actual coin. Just my opinions.

[@chaicharin]

Interesting and I have only bought two so far. I'm amazed how much some of the coins go for on auction.

[@TheTradingChief]

Their Morgan's are the biggest hit and miss. I feel like the cheaper you get the coin the lower MS you get out of the drawer to mitigate loss, again my opinion but what I've noticed. Their other coins like quarters and half dollars are spot on.

[@alwaysseekingsilver]

Seems like one of the biggest scammers out there. A couple years ago, I tried to visit their location in Scottsdale AZ. Locked up tight. Called the number on the door and whoever answered the phone said they only sell online. They’d allow an appointment at the storefront if you wanted to sell something to them, but not the other way around.

[@RobertLee-wi5kc]

If it is properly graded by pcgs then it is not better it is just the grade they say it is. I suggest you take some of those 100 coins and have a professional dealer look at them. I think from the way you speak you are being taken for a ride up the river.

Just my opinion but, now that you've made your educational video and had your fun, and in the process further 'outed' them (sounds like plenty of folks are already aware of how they conduct business!), return the coin for a refund or ask for a discount just to back them up a little and slow their roll. They need reminding that an ever widening sphere of people/collectors are on to them and sharing info. Good video

Friend, they likely didn't "lose" money. That Morgan I'm convinced will be "details", if graded by the reputable grading companies...bc it's heavily cleaned. If you go to sell that Morgan...a coin dealer will give you likely under $30, w/Ag currently under $25/oz. If you place it for auction...I blv it won't go for much more than $35...if you have good photos, bc ppl will see the terrible cleaning hairlines. HERE'S THE KEY THING: THE COIN YOU SHOWED, as the one advertised...WAS NOT THE COIN YOU RECEIVED. This is, in my opinion, terrible! I blv, in fine print, there are dealers that let you know that...but also, in my opinion, any coin seller that shows a picture of the coin...and then you receive a DIFFERENT coin, is not worth doing business with.
