Great Southern Coins on Ebay

[rpmadskilz]

Has anyone purchased Raw coins from them on Ebay? How good are their grade estimates? RP

Run away quickly.. Do not buy from them.

sounds like just for having looked at them you own coins now appear to have been harshly cleaned, or altered, or something along those lines

they probably don't sell any CAC coins, but I'm not sure

[rpmadskilz]

Thanks all.

Big scam

I purchased one coin. It looked nothing like their photo. It was listed as gem. I sent coin to ngc for kicks. Then contacted the seller once ngc returned it as cleaned. I must say they returned my purchase price, my grading fee and my return shipping cost. I gotta give them a thumbs up on the return policy. Thumbs down on photos.

I purchased 4 coins from them, all were cleaned or altered, however, they do have a great return policy. I suspect that a majority of buyers don't know what they are doing and choose not to return the coins, allowing a great revenue stream for GSC, unfortunately.

they take great pics - the pics usually better than product

unless in NGC or PCGS slab

I agree more with the first comment. RUN AWAY! (quickly) I have not heard of one informed customer that was actually satisfied with the product.

Wonder what they charge for photos?

I have purchased many coins from GSC and satisfaction was a 5.5/10.

I purchased a RAW 1878 Morgan from them that HAD MS63 appeal BUT they cleaned the "choice word" out of it. The photos are decent but they (the photos) hide hairline scratches very well. I looked back at the listing and yup, it said that the coin was polished.

 

I have been happy with many coins from them but I try to pay less than I normally would because of my previous issues. Customer service is good and I get their seller newsletter. I would say to examine the photos in their entirety and Email them if needed prior to bidding. IMO they are great sellers. But if you are looking for presentation quality over "begining collectors quality" browse around and buy elseware.

Dave, in your opinion, what makes them "great sellers"?
