And no, I don't know the guy personally... :-)

There's a fellow by the name of James Petersen out of California who uses the handle "uspowercoins" on eBay. I've bought a few PF70 Statehood Quarters off the guy. Prices were OK. Nothing spectacular. I've seen the same quarters go for more and go for less. But I've never been one to shop based on price alone, and he appeared to be reliable. I found out just how reliable about two weeks ago.

I purchased a PF70 Nevada from him and got a Nebraska instead. So, I sent him an e-mail and told him what had happened, and not to worry about it, because I needed a Nebraska as well. In two days, there was a Nevada at my doorstep with a note apologizing for the mixup and telling me to keep the Nebraska as well.

That, to me, is a sign of someone who takes their customers very seriously, and he'll be getting more of my business.
