Purchased several coins over a few months from Mr. Edwards via internet auctions.
After one purchase of a more expensive coin listed as an MS66 (which is defined as very nice) condition coin the appearance of the coin raised some questions as it did not appear to be the grade mentioned.
I sent the coin (at my own expense) to an independent grading lab to verify what I suspected. After several weeks i received the coin and grading report back and it graded at least one grade lower. The report, from the premier grading lab PCGS did not regrade the coin but only stated it was not an MS66. They alluded (via insurance) that is was MS64/64+.
In the coin collection hobby one grade can make a difference of thousands of dollars in value.
When i received the report i tried to contact Mr. Edwards via several email attempts. I know his email is correct because i did correspond with him in the past during the auctions for other matters.
Over several weeks all emails went unresponded - no replies and no return phone calls.
I am filing this report to warn other collectors about Mr. Edwards lack of follow up and support for his sales. I am having all of my purchases from him regraded to check for misgraded and even counterfit coins.
Please be warned about this auction company - he also is listed through the Auctionzip.com company. I contacted Auctionzip in the past and they say that I am responsible to "try and work it out" witht he seller.
It is apparent Mr. Edwards has no desire to stand behind his aucrtions.
