Thanks very much for doing this work at your own expense Adam. Very informative and useful. Clearly the difference between "SUPERB+ GEM BU" and "SOLID GEM BU" is bigger than I thought! And I did think that NGC was being overly harsh on the second coin but now I guess I do see traces of wear in a couple of the usual spots. But would I have seen them if I hadn't been told? Another pursuit of mine is audio. In that field we insist on double-blind testing because the power of "confirmation bias" is so strong. That is, unless the information is kept from you, you'll be certain that that Accuphase amp really does sound better than the Pioneer. Well, it probably does.
He's is a liar he says he only had one 1878s left for 200.00 Dollars and now has another a week later a little lie is a lie
Anybody with pictures that look like this should just be avoided completely. Look at the image and imagine that coin coming looking like that? I know there's a learning curve with ebay. If the pics look larger than life.... keep scrolling
And I'm watching this garbage end tonight... Avoid You're welcome PL... I wish I had this kind of money to just throw away...
