Welcome, milomcg ! I hope you enjoy the board. Here's a way to spot the self-slabbers every time - google 'em. Real TPGs have a first-rate...
Do they offer free shipping to the successful bidder ? ;)
You'll be excited when you get these in ! Nice work. Yes, one can get gold at or near spot on E-bay... sometimes, even below ! Post up when...
I think NGC said AU50.
It's so hard to tell from a picture, since the key is luster break on the Indian's cheek. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume mint...
Eight bucks ? Sure; why not ? I can barely get a plate of Tex-Mex enchiladas for $8. And this large cent will still be around long after the gas...
