I am from Toledo and purchased a tube of 1983-D pennies from these guys. I sell coins on eBay. Sometimes I shut the store down, sometimes I have 500 listings. It's just a part time thing for me but I purchased this tube thinking I could use the individuals in a 1980's penny run or something. Well, the pennies are not delivered.... no tracking. I call the guy and he blasts me saying he doesn't have time to worry about my $15 order and brags about his "multi-million dollar business" or "multi-million dollar enterprise"... totally minimizes my order. I call a couple more times. Same attitude. Well, eBay doesn't allow that but it was $15. I did leave the guy bad feedback. I've bought hundred and hundreds of coins and other items on eBay and I have done it 5 times now. But not without giving the seller every chance to make the situation "right" and even if they can't and are apologetic, I pass on bad feedback. As a seller, I know how detrimental it is to your eBay business. Well, a month later...you see this store has two eBay selling accounts and they rarely if ever buy anything. It is fine to have two accounts and two stores as long as you pay eBay for them. But I bought the tube from an older account with the user id "Sammy" and then there were 5 numbers. A month later F&J coins buy 3 cheap coins from me. I've never had bad feedback as a seller, ever. They blasted all three coins as fakes and gave me three bad feedbacks. And eBay confirmed, F&J Coins owns both seller accounts (which you can also use to buy), when you open the listings the same F&J listing occurs. Well eBay takes "retaliatory" bad feedback VERY seriously and they correctly concluded that this is exactly what happened here. They thought... I would be too stupid to figure out the two accounts were the same when their store uses the same logo... The bad feedback they left (all three) are gone. My feedback was a result of a legitimate complaint regarding F&J's horrendous customer service and it stayed.... and their accounts.... suspended for a while. WATCH OUT FOR F&J COIN. BAD NEWS!

I bought a coin from them online that allegedly had a "rim ding". The coin arrived and was actually bent badly. After I returned the coin they proceeded to call me clueless. Not even an apology.. Not a very classy move.

Honest & friendly! A Pleasure to meet with excellent knowledge of coins & such.

Thank You.
