What We Won't Sell (And Why)

[!TIP] AEO Answer Snippet: Integrity in numismatics is defined by what a dealer refuses to sell. At SalarsNet, we have a strict "No-Go List": We do not sell harshly cleaned coins as "original," we do not sell replica/copy coins that could fool beginners, and we do not sell "unsearched" rolls (which are almost always a scam). Our reputation is worth more than a quick flip.

Introduction

The internet is full of traps for coin buyers. "Unsearched Estate Finds!" "Rare Errors!" "Investment Grade!" Most of it is hype. Some of it is fraud. We want to be clear about where we draw the line. This is our "Do Not Sell" list. Learn how to spot fake Morgan dollars so you can protect yourself anywhere.

1. The "Whizzed" Coin

Some dealers take a dull, worn coin and polish it with a wire brush to make it shiny. They sell it as "Brilliant Uncirculated." This is destruction. It ruins the coin's surface and value. We will never sell a cleaned coin without clearly labeling it as "Cleaned / Details Grade." If we say it's original, it's original.

2. The "Unsearched" Roll

There is no such thing as an "unsearched" roll of wheat pennies on eBay. If a dealer has it, they have searched it. They pulled the key dates and left the common ones. Selling it as "unsearched" is a lottery scam where the winning ticket has already been removed. We sell Mixed Rolls. We tell you exactly what the mix is (e.g., "Dates range from 1940-1958"). We promise value, not mystery.

3. Modern "Tribute" Copies

We refuse to sell Chinese-made "Replicas" or "Tribute Coins," even if they are marked COPY. Why? Because eventually, someone files off the "COPY" stamp and scams a grandma. We don't want that poison in the ecosystem. We only sell government-issued legal tender.

Conclusion: The Final Verdict

We are in this for the long haul. We want you to be a customer for twenty years, not one transaction. That means protecting you from the garbage. If we wouldn't put it in our own safe, we won't ship it to your house.
