<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 8068297, member: 82549"]I looked at a few of his listings. (<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/194339078691?hash=item2d3f830223:g:kf8AAOSwqA1hNSag" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/194339078691?hash=item2d3f830223:g:kf8AAOSwqA1hNSag" rel="nofollow">Typical Example</a>) I did not see anything that screamed "fake!" I was concerned because my first thought was that the seller might be putting the coins in holders to conceal casting seams, but I don't see any telltale signs of casting from the surfaces. I suspect that the seller is just buying bulk lots of low-grade coins and then putting them in holders and jacking up the prices. The coin that I linked to, for example, would probably sell for half the price without a holder (or double that price in the holder on the home shopping network). To me, this seems pretty expensive, but it's a nice presentation. So if you don't mind paying extra for it, then that's fine. Whatever works for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
