<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2197264, member: 71510&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got the go-ahead to make what is probably my largest single coin buy ever - a 1934-S Peace Dollar in MS64.&nbsp; And the opportunity has arisen (on ebay of all places) and there is an NGC graded MS64 1934-S Peace Dollar at no-reserve auction.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been building an MS64 set for the last 2 years, this is the &quot;big one.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is - the legitimacy.&nbsp; It&#039;s a rare one, and fraud is first on my mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>The label across the bottom - is solid brown.&nbsp; The labels for NGC tend to have a fading NGC buried on them.&nbsp; In fact there was an earlier posting for a gold coin that was flagged off (with Cointalk assistance) and this was one of the &quot;tells&quot; that people found on the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I reviewed the coin on NGC&#039;s site and there is no image to compare details with (which is odd considering the rarity and value of the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint mark is a micro-s and it leans left (indicating VAM-2).</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller is a long time member in good standing with excellent feedback.&nbsp; Returns are offered.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do YOU all think?&nbsp; Normally I wouldn&#039;t post something like this in hopes of not advertising to the buying competition - but my guess is that a lot of you aren&#039;t in the market for this coin, and a purchase this size is generally planned.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/331602838719?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/331602838719?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/331602838719?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice or direction is appreciated.&nbsp; If I could see the image on NGC, I&#039;d feel a heck of a lot better about this buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nerves nerves nerves!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
