Spock1k -no mistake,you got good advice. Let me share some experience.

I have over the years bought a common coin example of most grading company's wares...pcgs ,nnc ngc,ani.pci, etc,And awhile ago gec. I found a common date one with good pictures(I've never seen one less than ms-67,by the way.) It was offered on e-bay, I bid with the idea in mind it may make bu-60,it looked possible, got it at a little under that.​

Well, as soon as I opened the package and saw the off color luster of au, and of course it has the fine wear marks on all the high points.​

I keep it as example of truly bad grading..I don't have any segs or any of other graders that bad, but most others have their ups and downs,but I think they at least try.​

 

metlog i wasn't looking for advice just opinions i dont buy coins from the open market unless its in a pcgs slab. its not like i am going to go spend $300 on a coin thats not slabbed unless i get it at bv but thanks for sharing your opionion

 

AU for sure. I wouldn't spend a dime on a GEC slabbed coin. Thet ALWAYS overgrade. I know. I bought one.

Bruce (sorry for the late answer.)

 

$659.12 with 2 minutes to go. I pity the fool.

$696.90 winning bid. Too bad for that collector. libertycoinguy is laughing his ass off.

Never underestimate price of ignorance.

 

I recently returned a 1921 Peace $ that was harshly cleaned but the pictures didn't show it. I scanned it and when I saw it was cleaned, returned it for a refund. All worked out so far, BUT, depotdel said he was going to put it back on ebay. I haven't seen it listed yet. I hope he at least states that it was cleaned as he said he would.

i think for $16 it would have beena beautiful coin worth buying in a heartbeat. when it went over $20 i felt bad and gave up

 

Are you speaking of the 1921 Peace Dollar? You can't get even a heavily circulated one anywhere near that low.

 

i wouldnt say anywhere if you know where to look you can find them

 

GD from time to time you get a lot of silver coins at BV and if one is lucky it can even be the 1921 but noted your point about fakes i will be careful
