Not a proof
Worn
Cleaned
Corroded
Chemically Recolored

Worth about $30

All of his copper has major problems.


Where did the "3" come from on his 1931-S Buffalo? I don't ever
recall seeing one that tall, and of a different color than the rest of
the coin.

I have always avoided this seller for two reasons -- the images of his
coins are doctored too much and the listing doesn't talk about the
coin being sold. The feedback rating is good, but incomprehensible
pictures plus no description equals no bid. The seller may be fine,
but it isn't worth the risk to me.

It's a shame because the seller offers quite a few good coins. The
ones in slabs seem to have the truest pictures. Raw coins of the
caliber that are offered are too risky to buy raw without some
excellent, undoctored photos.

I have avoided this seller too for pretty much the same reasons. He
reminds me of another seller, tuesdaynightcoins. I think a lot of
these type of sellers have great feedback because the knowledgable
buyers know better than to bid and the ones who win these auctions
don't know they have been had.

I don't think it's just his pictures that have been doctored.

I always approach sellers with high grade bargins in the same way. If
this is real why isn't it slabbed in a reputable holder.
I have always shied away from this seller for that reason.

Good God In Heaven--Is it just me or does this look AU or
less--scratched, cleaned? no breast feathers at all and PCGS graded
ms64? Hair around the ear looks like it's been hit with a hammer. I
thought some of his stuff might be alright, but what do ya'll think of
this one??

The 1921-S Morgan is the worst in the series. After 1904, the master die
elements and punches for the
Morgan dollar were destroyed, so the 1921 coins are made with reproduction
dies in low relief.

Even worse PCGS MS64 1921-S:

RESPONSE: If you have postive proof it's fraud you can file a complaint
your self.

No, no, no! Ebay need to do something about this, the coin is
misrepresented as
to its value by 1000% This result in mistrust between users.

Frank thank you for pointing this out, I shall write to safe harbour.

Yeah, he must be selling some bad crap.

So, obviously, you are a coin seller. What is your eBay name so I can
buy from you and not Great Southern?

I have purchased coin from Frank Provasek and been very happy. His web
