<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 233925, member: 8033&quot;]Hi Jeff and welcome to Cointalk. I AM the one that asked about this coin on Overstock and yes you did reply after I posted this thread. I so rarely get a response on a coin like this that I shared it with the CT community before I got a response. I guess that was my bad but I&#039;ll continue to do it. People need to look while the auction is live.</p><p><br /></p><p>We DO welcome you to Cointalk - no BS there my friend but anyone can walk into their garage, basement or in my case the computer room and start slabbing coins. I do not profess to be a certified coin grader and this is why I do not do this. Perhaps you should consider same.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, which is subjective just like coin grading, a person that slabs their own coins then sells them while quoting trends, PCGS, Redbook or whatever is bordering on fraud. I call it &quot;planting the seed&quot; and to a newer collector it&#039;s very tempting. Plant the seed at what that coin MIGHT be worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have I quoted prices on pieces that I have sold? YES I HAVE. With big pictures, a refund policy and grading by ANA standards. None or us are perfect but most of us know right from wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>My big question though Jeff is if this coin was that nice why not send it to PCGS or NGC? MS67 coins command great premiums. If the coin was that nice why not drop $30 to make an extra $1000. I&#039;m struggling with the math here but in the wrong direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have been &quot;defending&quot; yourself here as I see it but give you a good mark for coming aboard.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been collecting for well over 35 years now and LOVE this site. I know a few things but there are people here that literally blow me out of the water with their knowledge. Cool thing is that they share it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Join the community and you can learn A LOT.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I still love a good Vidalia onion![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
