<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26188671, member: 86815"]Of course , not that I am cynical or distrustful by nature, but Great Collections are selling a collectible and not the value. The value is determined by whatever a buyer will pay. The grade is not even finite so if an unscrupulous owner submitted the coin, which could have passed through other hands, and the label had been peeled and superglued back, the value could already be gone with no guarantees from the owner or sellers. I doubt it the TPG submitted it through NDT methods to determine if there were fractures on the seal points of the label. My view is that with a MS 68 grade that is a "get out of jail free" card for them. Of course the assumed anonymity of the Bitcoin platform means that anyone that already has taken the value cannot be traced. This is a huge bucket of worms. </p><p>I think I would stick my money into something more tangible.
