    I like to watch soon ending auctions. This one smells like 2 week old fish left in the sun.
    1888P Morgan, MS67. I looked, cert checks out. However, only about 80 graded this high by PCGS ever.. Suggested retail 7500. Started out as a $10 starting bid. Total scam or stolen coin?

    15 minutes left to bid, current less than $400. Who wants to gamble? lol

    I would be game in at that number!
    I am an only in hand buyer though.

    No one with any sense would put that up for auction without a reserve. It hammered for less than $600. I'd bet $600 same even money that 1) the buyer will never receive this coin 2) they may receive 1888P in circulated condition and the seller will claim it was a stock photo 3) They'll receive a fake coin in a fake slab and 4) Law enforcement has this item listed as stolen property.:D

    More details, seller isn't a dealer. Only a hand full of eBay coin sales, and 2 negative reviews for not shipping gummies.:p

    I've actually seen #2 happen, I was following a 1921 PCGS MS 66 coin and the buyer called them out on it, and reported it in a negative review.
