Hello Alan,
I just wanted to thank you very much for all that you have done to make
this a wonderful experience. eBay doesn't allow enough room in the feedback to
sufficiently let me say how pleased and thankful of your hard work with me to
correct the transaction.
Let me say that just saying I deeply appreciate this doesn't do justice to
your consideration and work ethic. You are truly a rare seller who really
really cares about the seller and I can not express my gratitude. It would
have been easy for you to just ignore my request, but you went out of your way
and above the call of duty to help.
Thank you so very much.
We received the new coins and they are really amazing. I've never really seen
old coins in person before but these are really interesting and detailed. I
look forward to when they are finished in their cleaning cycle.
I also will be a returning customer in the future. It is rare to find such a
considerate seller anymore and those I do find who are win my patronage.
Again, thank you very much and have a wonderful weekend.
Melanie

Thanks so much! I've already had a blast tumbling
the sapphires I bought from you earlier. I'm still quite happy with them. I
bought them to tumble for putting into a fountain I have (it's kind of nice to
have a good bit of color variation for that). Looks like there are some
really nice ones (sapphires) in the mixed lot that I got from you though, nice
color even before they've been tumbled. The best thing about using them for
the fountain are the looks you get when people ask what's in it and you tell
them "oh, nothing much...just some sapphires, emeralds, rubies,
amethyst..." Great fun. :)

I bought a bag of emeralds from you about 2 wks.
ago. I had rubies, garnets, emeralds, sapphires, citrines, topaz and quartz from
a vacation trip to Gatlinburg. I bought a bedtray, let my grandchildren sprinkle
jewels and a little golddust in it and filled it with clear casting resin.
Absolutely FUN!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!! I just wanted you to see what my
family did with the emeralds. Thanks again for a great Ebay purchase and for
alot of fun with my family!

From Alisa Canter @ 01/31/2007 8:23am
Hello Alan,
Wow, I guess I really didn’t know
what to expect when the stones started to reveal themselves. All but maybe two
or three are Stars. I had never seen those before and didn’t know what I was
looking at. Anyway, I also think I have one white Sapphire if there is such.
But it was the only stone in the bunch that was not dark and all the rest have
turned out to be exactly what they were supposed to. Sorry I ever doubted you.
Now here is my problem. It has
taken so long to get the stones finished that I have lost the link to leave
feedback do you have any ideas on how I can fix this as I would like to leave a
very nice feedback for you.
OBTW, thank you for the stones! It has been
rather exciting to watch them emerge from the dirt.

From Keela Rayne @ 03/22/2006 2:28pm
I just left feedback on ebay, but there wasn't enouogh room to say
thank you well enough. You've made spring break! The TV is off and the
kids all have their noses in a book trying to figure out what you sent!
They've each picked their favorite treasure except for the five year
old who can't narrow his favorite to just one! :)
Thank you again,

emeralds. Thanks much!!!!!!
Follow-up email @ 12:05pm
just thought you'd like to know, found another, 33.821cts im
looking at the scale now and can't believe my eyes.
From Shelly Wiltshire @ 07/15/2005 5:23pm
Just wanted to tell you that, when my
daughter lost a sapphire ( one that i'd bought from you in the bags of
sapphires), my friend found it and returned it to me, also the other three bags
i bought from you contained a 53ct white sapphire. Your sales are amazing!!! The
sapphire that was returned to me by my friend was a 134ct blue sapphire ( nearly
a whole barrel except for the cut in a ' v ' shape that is approx 4-5ct missing)
But WOW!!! how lucky i am to have such a whopping 134cts! Not bad colour of blue
either!!!....I can't do any skips! but here it is: WOW!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!! B**ooM** AWESOME!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!! I'll be buying again from
you soon, i'm already a repeat buyer & will repeat & repeat!!! IF you want any
awesome testimonies let me know i'd be happy to oblige ( the ordinary feedback
doesn't allow to many words to express....It's better to have a testimony from
the messages, you can fit more in & get the message accross). BRILLIANT! WOW!
AWESOME! BARGAIN!
Follow-up email @ 7:14pm
The testimony is well deserved, you deserve much
more, of course i'm happy i am so over the moon ! Yes use the message & keep
it back as a testimonial, if i can do anymore to validate you as a terrific
genuine seller let me know. Infact a my friend is a silversmith, jeweller &
chairman of the UK Facet Cutters Guild, he has more than 30 years experience,
he said it was not a bad colour of sapphire too ( i knew it was sapphire
myself...but he also confirmed it, but he thought that it probably came from
the far east) I don't care where it comes from, i couldn't have done better if
i'd found a gold mine! I've listed you as my favourite seller! Your the top
one..1st ! & the best!
Thanks so much Alan
Your a real gem!

Dear atgoodman,
I just wanted to let you know that I have recieved my rubies and emeralds and I
am very pleased with them! I have only washed them off with soap and water and
have already found some good, possibly facetable stones! I have a rock tumbler
on its way to me and can't wait to get them polished up. I have left positive
feedback for you and will most likely purchase more from you! Thank you for this
great deal and I wish you and your family health and happiness!
Thank you,
edro268
From Eric Macuski @ 08/21/2002 5:50pm
WOW!!! I just love the Roman coins you sent! At least three
as good
detail, and actually i think two are of when Egypt and Rome joined, and the
other might have a picture of Cleopatra, or some female leader, on it. I
did a little scratch test as well...3 silver and 1 gold!!!! I think some
jewelry cleaner may work with those precious metals. I know it wouldn't
work on bronze!
Thank you so much! You just upped my collection!

From Jake & Shari Angelo @ 04-19-2002 5:25pm
Alan,
My wife and I were most surprised when we opened out two bags of material. Our
first impression was "we should have purchased six bags". This was a grand
experience. Being new rock hounds we know the toil that goes into picking a
bag of this material out of the rough if you were able to find this much in
one place.
Your material is grander than we expected. We have purchased several such
bags and they have been "ho hum". Your product is "wow wee".
Thanks, and look for us to purchase more. I will go to the ebay site and
offer my favorable rating of your service.
Thanks for a great evening..we can't wait till morning (we like to search in
the sunlight),

From Grillz @ 04/16/2002 6:26am
I've collected and traded for 40+ years, and would like to share
with
you two first finds in the 50 coins I received. One , copper, about the
size of a nickle, is about 50% covered with what appears to be silver
plating. Possible counterfeiting?? The other depicts Romulus and Remus
suckling a she wolf; a scene I have only seen depicted in books, or as a
drawing in a museum. I was hoping to find one gold piece, but these are
far better.
Thanks again, Grillz
From Harold Heitmann @ 04/24/2001 3:23pm
Hi Alan
Received my Roman Coins after cleaning one of them turned out to be a
Faustina II AR Denarius Juno value $50.00 ++.
Thanks

From Judy Litton @ 09/06/2000 8:37pm
Hi,
I bought 20 of your uncleaned coins. I was kind of sceptical about finding
anything exciting, but I had wanted to get some of these for quite some time.
My husband and I are still cleaning them, but as of right now we have found
at least 4 extremely interesting coins. One of them is about the size of a
half dollar. I took it to work with me to show people and we thought it
might be a base metal coated to look like gold. By last night we knew we
had
something big. First the names of Antony and Cleopatra began to emerge.
Finally, we realized that we had a gold coin with the portrait of Cleopatra
on the obverse and the goddess Ceres on the reverse. Oh yah! At
least three of the other coins are gold, one on them is from Constantinople.
What a treasure hunt. And what an initiation to the hobby.
Thanks,
Judy Litton
From Aaron Alanen @ 07/22/2000 10:10pm
atgoodman,
I don't know if I can leave another positive
feedback, I sure hope I can, or, I will on my next purchase (20 coins). I have
a very fine bronze Procopius from this purchase. The detail on mine is much
better than the example on this page I'm including but my coin is just
slightly off center, lessening the value slightly, as many hammered coins are
from this era. (mine is much more symmetrical though!)
I'm quite happy with mine, thank you, its a very,
very pretty coin with extremely terrific detail (you should see his beard!)
and really has my interest up in collecting coins. I never dreamed I'd get
passionate about it, and this is a start. I realize these types of coins
aren't always the best quality, coming from the ground after almost 2000
years, but are really quite fun to clean and research! I will be giving the
next batch of 20 coins to my young nephews, they will get a kick out of them,
and hopefully an interest that will allow them to learn some real history.
I'll buy more just for the anticipation of another great find!
Take care,
Aaron Alanen
P.S. please feel free to use this as an auction
feedback in any way you can. I am quite happy with my 10 coins - thank you
very much! My Procopius coin might be worth over $100 or more! ;) I've seen
examples out on the web for over $200.00 and as much as $350.00! This is a
nice, rare and interesting coin!
From rmon @ 6/4/2000 6:18 AM
I have been so satisfied with the bag of 20 roman coins which you had
sent me. I discovered 2 silver coins, (one slug, one very legible).
It
was great fun in cleaning and researching these coins. I hope to do
this again with you. sincerely rmon
