<p>[QUOTE="david2400, post: 1309775, member: 34223"]I think you are a bit off-base here goldrush - oftentimes I buy slabbed coins that do not include the Mint box and COA, but since I like to have the box and COA for every coin, then I routinely go to eBay to buy the box and COA wihout coin, just as this seller has listed. There is nothing nefarious going on here, but some sellers choose to separate the box/COA from the slabbed coin, and other people buy only the slab and then decide at a later point to sell that slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is fine to be careful, but I think you might be a bit paranoid and honestly your assumption that all sellers are up to no good is insulting. As someone earlier posted, buy the coin first, but I disagree and say that you should consider the slab, sellers reputation etc to make sure that you are buying a genuine coin from a reputable dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
