[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 843006, member: 5629"]It's a self-slab, as per the description. Basically, he is selling it raw. Personally, I would not purchase the coin, especially anywhere near his asking price. I have been on both eBid and CoinBug just recently, and have had much better success as a seller. eBid has a "lifetime" seller membership that I got for $50 which includes no listing or final value fees...you only pay for the "extras". I would have already easily spent three times as much in fees selling the same items at eBay. I do some non-numismatic purchases at eBid also, and have no complaints yet, as some of the sellers are ex-eBay sellers I have dealt with for years. I am currently testing the waters at eBid with some light, safe numismatic purchases to get a feel. I got a 2010 Silver Eagle for $16 a few weeks ago, no problems, very fast shipping from California to Wyoming. Although it has been around for years, eBid is still a fresh fish in the water and just needs a good chance to start getting into the flow with "faithful" buyers and sellers. I haven't really used CoinBug yet, but have known of it for years now. Same could be said for them...they just need to be given a chance to "prove themselves". I mean, "Rome wasn't built in a day", but it seems that quite a few people think a new "eBay" should be? I just say, "Whatever!" I am more than happy with eBid as both a buyer and seller, and am sure I won't be disappointed with CoinBug either. Just keep your eyes open and you may be able to find what you're looking for. Just remember, it's not the venue that makes or breaks the deal, it's the buyers and sellers. Whether it's the three story coin gallery in New York, or Jimbo's garage around the corner, if it's what you are looking for, authentic, and the right price, go for it![/QUOTE]
