I'm not interested in buying. I'm just wondering. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1902-Circul...08?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item258f33a0ac http://www.ebay.com/itm/1890-1-Morg...36?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item27e4a61a70. Fake slab? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1882-Morgan...36?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4ad5cba934
The two raw ones maybe as they do not look right. The Anacs one is really odd. It doesn't even look like a legit slab. Looks like some that I have with a printed label.
No idea about their authenticity. I wouldn't buy ANY of them, just because the sellers don't provide decent photos. They're either incompetent with providing decent images for an ebay listing, or they're trying to hide something.
Link 1: I feel it irresponsible to base an opinion off of so little information. Link 2: ditto but does look genuine. Link 3: I would't lose any sleep over it. As for the zero feedback thing, everyone has to start somewhere, and I doubt ebay/paypal is going to let them see one cent of the money until knowing the buyer is happy. That's probably because it does not say ANACS and isn't a "legit" slab.
Can't say either way with those pics , but I lean to real . But I sure wouldn't bid on them . Though I will ask them for some better pics .
I bid $1 on the one and then up to $12.50, I will not go higher but I would not mind seeing it up close.
ANGS is probably just some self-slabber in someone's basement or something (I can not find any website or address for them, which seems suspicious). They have a reputation for overgrading coins big time and not calling out obviously cleaned/problem coins as such. Would generally stay away from anything graded by them. A good coin may be in one of their slabs, but treat any coin graded by them as raw and ignore whatever grade they put on it. Also, be able to tell if the coin is actually authentic on your own; would not trust them to even authenticate a coin. Sure it's already been said, but don't confuse ANGS with ANACS.
