Sells fake non authentic artifacts
Put as is on all artifacts with no return policy knowing they are no good. This is fraud and will be reported to th BBB. Almost every artifact I purchased unless it had a COA was bad. Be Leary of anything they sell!

Tony Putty Artifacts is a great auction house to work with.
Without question, Tony Putty Artifacts is one of the best auction houses I've worked with. The pieces I've purchased were accurately described, and the opening bid amounts were quite reasonable. Additional information was promptly provided when requested, and, most important, it was easy to reach someone who could answer my questions. Payment processes are very convenient for the customer, and shipments of my purchases were done in a timely manner, with excellent packaging.
