Fraud in Coin Listings
I recently won a few auctions with Gold Standard Auctions via the Live Auctioneers platform. The auctions were for the following coins:-1939-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar CHOICE AU (Lot 65863) for $35.00,-1891 RED Indian Head Cent UNCIRCULATED (Lot 65918) for $60.00,-1892-S Morgan Silver Dollar LIGHTLY CIRCULATED (Lot 65799) for $65.00, and-1892-S Morgan Silver Dollars Pair [ 2 Coins ] (Lot 65931C) for $425.00. I just got back into town from a business trip, and when I opened the package with these coins I instantly became suspicious at the condition of the coins. I took them to my local coin shop, and the shop confirmed that all of the coins had been inappropriately cleaned, which strips the coins of luster and value, and that the coins were also in various states of heavy circulation. The listings by Gold Standard Auctions never stated that the coins were cleaned. If they had, I would have never purchased the coins, as I have always been aware that cleaning coins damages the coin and strips away value and the natural luster of the coin. The listings had the false implication that the coins were not cleaned, given that the listings did not state anywhere that any of the coins were cleaned nor did they say the coins may have been cleaned. Also, I relied on the false and misleading characterization of each coins 'uncirculated/circulated state to make my purchases, only to learn that the circulated state was far inferior to what had been advertised. Neither Liveauctioneers nor Gold Standard Auction House have replied to any of my emails or messages. I have no choice but to file complaints to my bank for fraud. I would strongly advise not to trust ANYTHING Gold Standard Auctions says about what they're auctioning. I would also say caveat emptor about Liveauctioneers because they clearly don't stand with their customers.

Efficient and simple purchasing and processing
My final accuracy rating (and future purchases) will depend on third party grading of a sampling of first-time GS purchases. First impression of grading standards is very positive.

Nice products
I received a great coin at a great price. The photos did not do the coin justice. When I opened the package I knew I had picked up a very nice find. Thank you. Donnie

Misleading auction. Pics in auction not what i received in the mail.
Don’t buy from these guys over paid for items that were not pictured in auction. One month to get my items again not pictured in auction pics.

Buyer Beware! If they don't ship an item, you lost your money.
The Auction was Dec 25th. I paid the bill the same day. After 2 weeks, I messaged them. They said the post office was backed up. I finally get a shipment on January 22nd. I bought 6 coins for $4, 000. I only received 5 coins and 1 just free peace coin. I send pictures to show i didn't get the 1909 gold coin. They said they investigate. After 2 weeks, i asked again. They emailed a message that i would get a credit with them. I asked for a refund and followed up on the coin. Now, they will not respond to me. I sent LiveAuctioneers an email with all the same information and haven't received a response either. I have been ghosted and out $800 dollars plus premium.

Fast, efficient, patient
They don't automatically charge my cc like other auctions. Do, after very patiently explaining their process to me, they very quickly processed my transaction. I have participated in several more of those auctions. I am very happy with GSA

Omitted Info
Knowing that the items being big on are “as is,” requires the buyer to have complete information about the auction items. For instance, whether or not things have been pre-opened or changed out, specifically having to do with sets Set whether they proof mint or otherwise. Not taking pictures of items. Also is a lack of clarity and communication and the degree to which informed decisions can make.
