<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 8651306, member: 118430"]I pretty much do all my buying on ebay. One thing you can't go by though is sellers feedback. They have the power to get negative removed. If they're selling many coins and the coins are in slabs and they look like they been on eBay a long time you can fairly figure the slabs are ok. Make sure the cert comes back. If it doesn't for any reason don't bid. I knew someone who bought one and it didn't come up. He called pcgs and the coin was reported stolen in the past. He won it and I didn't bid because the cert wouldn't come up. I told him after the fact and that's what pcgs told him. It was an old rattler and the coin otherwise straight. Don't buy anything raw unless you really know what you are doing. And DON'T and I REPEAT don't trust the feedback. And stay away from auctionkings. Before you fall into his trap of juiced enhanced photos</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1518712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1518713[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
