Can anyone ID what might be in these PCGS slabs? How to Read PCGS Labels Red label? Red/blue label? I'm guessing silver eagle? Google wasn't much help. PCGS site has a few possible close ones.
These is a seller with a coin lot. One of his descriptions is a box of slabs but he doesn't list what's in the slab. Sorta like a grab bag? The visible coins are probably worth $200 plus the box of slabs, but the NGC and PCGS slabs could be worth 2x the asking price. As of yet the seller hasn't responded to my question or sent me a picture of the slabs in the box. I'm a small time gambler But I like sure things better.
There must be a reason the seller does not wish to disclose the information you are seeking. The labels change so much it really could be anything. I personally feel it’s not worth the risk.
That's where I'm at. I offered $300 but was declined. Most are coins that everyone already has...I just looked again and the seller raised up the price. Guess I'm a watcher.
If I had some Bitcon foam, I'd probably make a run at these. I bought a previous listed coin lot from this seller and it turned out not to have the one coin as described in the listing...so I sent them back. The seller added: There is a case with 15 graded coins that you cant see which are a really good deal but will only see them once you buy. I'm intrigued but the seller is asking $400 and shipping. 400 ÷ 15. Actually 16 because you can see one graded slab. The math works out to ruffly $26.50 a slab. The rest of the coin lot is let's say GRAVY. That's almost the cost of getting a coin slabbed. My dilemma, or thought pattern is IF these are dollar coins in slabs the silver content in the lot could be worth the price of admission I'd only keep a few pieces and pawn off the rest at the local coin club meeting... weighing the (coin flip) as to whether is worth the time and money if there isn't more than a few that I'd want to keep. I'm pretty sure if I squint that there are 2 first strike SAE's in the box as pictured.
A seller trying to be this cagey is NOT looking to make the buyer a wealthy gambler. They are looking to get over on you. The way he has it listed pretty much guarantees any dispute with FeeBay to be resolved in his favor. His grab bag approach literally says you're taking a shot in the dark. How can a buyer claim it's not as advertised? Anyone looking to buy this lot or any listing with this style of salesmanship deserves the garbage they're sure to receive. Darwin lives!
The seller knows exactly what the coins are. If they were worth more than what you can see, he'd say what they were, so he could get higher bids. He knows exactly what they are, and he doesn't want to tell you until you buy them. The only way this will turn out in your favor is if you don't buy them. He's dancing around eBay's "no grab bags" policy, but I don't think it's actually reportable. Contemptible, but not reportable.
I'm guessing it's an older seller? One of the cardboard flips has a Morgan dollar in it and says 1988. Makes me wonder what else is a miss? Thai is the same seller that I bought that lot of coins from before with the 1914-D cent. When the coins arrived they were well packed and there were extra coins added which was nice but the 1914-D cent wasn't a 14-D but a 14 plain. At least his pictures are getting better but now he's playing games.
