I wouldn't but it and I wouldn't buy it..........

 

i dont know man. they have 1 review and right out the gate they are selling a rare, incredible condition coin...with no returns.

 

Shouldn't he be wearing cotton gloves to handle it? Wow, over 20 bids and this is his first sale on eBay. Not worth the risk with no returns.

 

Not for all the tea in China, where that coin may have been made.

 

brave? or gullible? or just a risk junkie?

 

What's that chatter going on between 'grains' and the eagles talon? Infinity?

 

shipping is $6 lol

 

Well, I'm sold.

 

Has anyone reported this yet?

 

I'm not a knowledgeable enough person to know for sure if this is a fake from China or the real thing. It is possible that someone recently joined eBay to sell a rare coin collection. More likely it's a fake and a scam. But, I have not reported it because I don't know for sure.

 

Just dang! Only $1825? I'm gonna get right on that.

 

Forgot this part.

 

That is exactly my thought. I know that there is somebody on CT that will clear it up though...unless they are staying silent so fewer people bid!

 

The coin looks real to me. I am willing to bet that it has altered surfaces though.

My guess, is someone cracked it out of a details holder, posted it as a raw, "MS" coin.

It does not look like a proof though.

looking at the feedback numbers on the bidders makes me so confident that this is legit that I have to go all in

 

I'd hold out until I see him put his fingers all over it some more.

Might be a few bidders counting heavily on Buyer Protection and the power of the SNAD claim...

 

the coin is a fake.

 

Can you elaborate? What makes you think it is fake?

 

A unslabbed proof from a seller with only one sale . I think I'll pass . I sure wish I knew what types the obverse and reverse proofs were made with . I'd love to hear from Books .
