Collectors internet is such a rip-off! Please beware coin buyers. Terry Parker, Chris, and willis brown, are pure scam artists. I purchaed coins from them and within a few years 60% turned up with some sort of blacks splash marks even though they are slabbed (coins can still become marked in holders but I don't think 53 of 80 coins should become worthless with heavy black marks and spots or were graded improperly. I returned them for Supposedly better coins and what do u know...the traded coins did THE SAME THING!
I didn't know much about grading or what to look for.... I started really looking at them closer and realized they were also overgraded. Im talking MS67 and MS68 coins purchased that are actually 3 or four grades lower like MS64 and MS65 or ruined by extreme appearing black splash or chemical marks. Some I could tell were cleaned or touched up. I took them to different dealers and had some regraded at PCGS and anacs. The service they use ACCGS is awful at grading in my opinion. 3/4 of lincoln cents were overgraded. lots of hairlines, scratches, spots, marks, and scuffs. Terry stated well why didnt u return them then?
I told him that they do not warranty coins after 15 days so how can a buyer know they will become stained I would expect some to have common problem years later but they knew those coins were cleaned or somehow altered to appear better? both times over 60% of the coins were worthless with splash marks and spots. Plus, even if I exchanged them again they would give me bad coins again so wants the point. I want my money back not more crappy coins back. I said I just want a fair product for what I paid for. They gave millions of excuses like we have over 80,000 good reviews. I informed him that anyone can delete bad reviews, LOL. Plus, where are the negative reviews I left 3 times? I didn't see them in their reviews list.... because they deleted them. Really check there coins if you do purchase from them use good lighting and examine them closely, but I recommend staying clear of them.
Go to the BBB website and file a complaint too. Inform people that they rip people off. I paid $4000 for those 80 coins but could only sell them for a fraction of what I paid.... I should have been able to make a nice profit if they were graded correctly and diddent become ruined with later apperaing marks, and heavy black marks and splashes.
Be good fellow coin collectors
