Sorry to tell you that it's a counterfeit. And I thought that based just upon the obverse image - the detail is wrong for a genuine coin. The S...
Bruce, it sounds like you know the answer to your question - avoid uncertified coins on Ebay and make use of the other sources you mentioned. If...
Why would you buy it? Do you like it or do you think you could make money on it? Either way, you can't get a good look at the coin from the images...
Even in the seller's images the coin looks unnaturally bright and I would have guessed it was cleaned. In your images it is more obvious....
It looks like a pleasing AU53-55 to me. There appears to be light wear on the Indian's face and jaw, in particular.
I think that's a good list and would add that the effect of each of those factors was/is somewhat dependent upon each of the others. For example,...
Many other sellers consider their cost when selling, too. However, depending upon the circumstances, offering coins on that basis could lead to a...

No problem.
Ben, the word "knowledgeable" was nowhere to be found in the post you quoted or even your reply to it. If that was what you were speaking of, it...

20%? You must be feeling generous tonight:D Sadly, over the years, I have seen many instances in which collectors learned that their prized...
Thanks - I'd guess MS65 or MS66 on the Jefferson and MS65 on the Buffalo (due to the lighter/discolored area on the Indian's cheek).
The large image of the obverse of the Jefferson nickel looks like an MS66 to me, but I didn't see a large reverse image. I don't think there is...
If I'm understanding you correctly, the items you posted aren't even the ones you're considering buying. If that is the case, these images won't...
The listing has been removed and I have reason to believe it was at NGC's request after I contacted them about it.:high5:
From the images it looks like a cleaned AU example to me and I would definitely suggest returning it. Also, if you have to ask on a coin like...
I agree and would be shocked if it graded lower than MS63. For those of you who graded it lower, keep in mind that the marks are magnified...
If the coin doesn't qualify for a "Full Bands" designation, even if it would grade as high as MS66 at a highly respected grading company it...
