I read a journal about never buying coins from a dealer that sells coins graded by the top two graders or as most sell from three graders (NGC, PCGS and ANACS). Now this advice has some truth to it, the writer shows a graded coin he buys from an EBay seller. I think the most accurate statement is don't buy from EBay dealer ever, for if you do you just picked up the devil. Strange think when picking-up the devil, sooner or later he will want to drive and drive you full speed into a wall.

I have seen so many fake coins and coins that are damaged to point that they cannot be graded by NGC and PCGS. The rule should be, do not buy coins on EBay, they talk a good talk about destroying those who sell counterfeit graded and ungraded coins on their site. I you have been buying coins from EBay and have not been ripped-off consider you lucky, not smart and that includes graded coins. For I have seen many fake slabs on EBay. You may ask how they get away with selling counterfeit coins and graded coins, is very easy. The burden of proof that the coin is counterfeit lies entirely with the buyer. The seller just has to make the argument that you are attempting to defame their character. The fact is you will not be able to prove it in most cases. You might have seen the seller blocking out graded coins registration numbers. I can see no reason to do this other than to sell you a counterfeit. At first this practice claimed it was done so no one could register the coin as their own in the Registry area of the PCGS or NGC Registry area. This is a huge sign that graded coin is a counterfeit. There are dealers that operate their own sites that are completely honest. They are graders for PCGS, NGC, ANACS or IGC. These persons that run their sites are completely trustworthy. The reason why they don't sell all graded coins is because once they are graders or administrators of at least the big two graders they cannot submit coins for grading. This is a true fact all you need to do to confirm this is to call the grading company, and they will confirm what I have said. For those of you who are interested in German Coins I highly recommend Ron Guth's website. You will not be ever disappointed; this man is the definition honesty. So I hope that this settles the argument, know who you are buying from not just if the seller has graded coins and only buy them.
