    On Craigslist in my area someone was offering a 1/4 oz standing liberty gold coin for $400. After several weeks with no buyers, he is offering it for $380...should I???

    Depends on if it's genuine or not. Not all of them are.

    It is said to be in OGP...any hints on testing authenticity?

    Cheapest one on ebay is 415. With 8 ebucks that's 33 off, so 382. Forget craigslist.

    Let's say the packaging is the real deal. You ever tried to open one of the Air-Tite type holders the mint uses ? It was pretty easy wasn't it ?

    Need I say more ?

    I think he is talking about the 2016 Standing Liberty.

    The one on ebay looks good, the seller has 100 percent positive feedback, you may return it for 14 days if you don't like it.

    I'd offer him 400, and get it for 400-32=368.

    Aren't these kind of offers exclusive of coins or bullion?

    ...OK, I did it... I figured someone had bought it from the mint and then gold did a nose-dive and they just needed to get the money. Seemed legit, he had the order to his address, all the OGP stuff and the coin looked legit. I took it out of the capsule - not that easy, but not terribly hard - and weighed it. Weight 7.80 g Is there any reason I should think it ain't good? Here's the pic I took...

    Unless that is some Uber-super fake.... And I don’t think it is.... That is a sweet pick up!
