I had numerous purchases in quantity of "Brilliant Uncirculated" Morgan Silver Dollas. All coins (over 160) were "whizzed" or cleaned. Company stated that, though sold as "brillant uncirculated", they would not provide a refund as it is the consumer's responsibility to know what they are buying.
I tried to retrun a 100 coin lot of "BU Uncirculated" Morgan Dollars that were cleaned after I learned to spot them but did not receive any response until after the return periord was over, even though I did receive email advertisements during this period. Seller stated he could not contact me and charge a $300 restocking fee.
This company also sells "graded" coins which, when taken to 3 differnet coindealers, we described as "junk". They tout their third party coins as supperior but they are vastly undergraded. Reptuable dealers sell only PCGS, NGC and occasionaly ANC graded coins.
Fraud through the mail is a felony; I hope someone pursues this in a more timely manner than when I found out about my purchases.
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.

Wanted to purchase 10 rolls of collectible coins. Jim Sears says that my check didn't clear (bounced). My bank says it cleared September 3, 2019.
Then Sears had the balls to say postal authorities are suspicious of me.
