Message:: [QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 406628, member: 13987"]I spoke with the guy holding the auction on the phone. He seemed very reasonable.  He said he would check it out.... We'll see if he does anything about the description. He said he paid $900 for the coin. It did sell at Heritage for $1150, but a coin dealer would usually not pay that much for a coin like this IMO. Too much risk.... not really wholesale type prices unless he believed the COIN was a solid MS specimen. I don't have any reason to think the guy is not telling the truth, but that is an awful small time horizon for all of that to happen in. 25 JULY 08 the auction ends.... 1-3 weeks shipping to owner.  Owner cracks coin & puts it in type set album.  Lies to coin dealer about where is came from. Then sells for $250 loss.  Like I said Larry seemed like a nice enough guy, but this is really stretching it.[/QUOTE]
