I'm starting to think everything is fake on ebay is fake. The other day a guy was selling a 1909 s vdb so I looked up his ratings on past sales....
Just like I figured, if the coin seems rare or hot, the vendors are going to rip you off. The mint should sell these direct to the public (just...
I posted on this before. Personally I wonder if the seller is trying to hide something, or it makes me wonder of the slab is legitimate. It...
Out of curiosity, where did you pick them up so cheap at a shop or show? Personally I would sell them all if you could make money, unless of...

Sorry I mis-typed in previous post. I meant NGC instead of NGS. I felt I should clarify since out there somewhere there is likely an NGS...
NGS gives cleaned coins a grade designation and a details sub-designation (or at least they did) at one time. I have seen many of these bring...
I know the TPGs don't set the price, but the fact is those prices weren't paid before the advent of the slab and they would not be paid not...
