Another toned Kennedy on eBay...

Here's another one, in an NGC slab. This one looks more NT to me, but as I've been educated by y'all, I know AT's can get into slabs.

What do you guys think?

Is the seller legit?

Shane (Krypto) is as legit as the come.
That's a beauty of a Kennedy too.

 

Legit seller. The colors look good as well. The older NGC holder probably helped them along.

 

Like gbroke said, that seller has a very good reputation. He's also a member of this forum.

 

Super. Thanks guys!

 

Not only is Shane a seller with a great reputation, his photos are among the best on E-Bay. And there is absolutely nothing about that coin that indicates AT. I say NT all the way!

 

I'll keep my eye on it. I have a feeling it's going to shoot way past my means in the last few minutes. I've seen that happen several times now - very frustrating.

 

I'll tell you John. Yes, Shane has a huge following on ebay and many items get painfully pricey. Not over-priced, just due to the high grades. However, keep an eye out and you may be surprised at how affordable many will go.
Many times he will post raw coins as well, generally in multiple coin lots or albums. Those offer a good opportunity to get into some beautiful toners at a lesser price.

That is because they use sniping software. I have used gavelsnipe for years.

 

This is a 64 that I got from Shane a couple of months ago, and it went fairly reasonably.

Absolutely on all counts! I have bought thousands of dollars of toned coins from Shane (kryptonite). He is totally great as a seller, completely trustworthy, and has some of the most amazing looking coins. Be pretty assured that Kennedy is NT, as that is a pretty common toning pattern for JFKs. I wouldn't consider it even slightly questionable.

I've used Bidslammer for years, quite happily.

 

I'm not ready to go there. I'll place a maximum bid I can afford and leave it at that. I've seen how hype affects people in live auctions to overbid. The Amish make a killing around here.

 

Do what you like, but your max bid in a snipe is much better than your max bid placed 5 days before. Placing max bids days before tends to get some "max searchers". Just saying.

 

I'm sorry. I have no idea what that means. Why would my max bid be any different 5 days or 5 minutes before the end of auction?

 

Yeah, that is a nice NT coin being offered by a great seller!

 

In simple terms, there is shill bidding that might try to get you to your max when there might actually not be competition. Or, there are people on eBay that just like to run up auctions just because they want to see what someones max is. If they pass it, it isn't very hard to retract it.

 

Exactly. That is why I snipe, as there is often a lot of "bid testing" to see if competitors are raising their max bids. If you snipe, you don't give away your max bid, and reduce the chance of getting counter sniped at the end.

 

You guys are gonna outbid me, lol.

 

Ah, I see, said the blind man! Thank you. I'll look into one of those sniping programs.

 

Not me. I have 4 toned 1964s and several BU Gems, so I am not interested in the coin. It is all yours---go for it, and bid!!!
