Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 824638, member: 4552"]WELCOME TO THE FORUM. From the condition of that coin, I'd say not a bad price. The problem here is that the 55 Double Die is becoming one of the more commonly couterfeited coins like the 09S VDB. This one is difficult to tell if real from the photo but does appear to be. Price is really not that bad though if you could trust that seller for that much money. From the way you talk your spending a lot real fast. You really, really should try to find some coin shows. As you go to them you would find the compitition brings down the cost considerably. Also, remember at a coin show you see the real coin, not a photo of what may or may not be what you get. Also, at a show if you did find something like that, you could ask other dealers to check out such coins for you. Then too, no postage, no handling, no insurances for mailings, no lost in the mail, no wrong item sent. I've found that about 99.99% of all coin prices are less at a coin show. And one more thing is you can stand right there and haggle. I bring that up due to at a coin show last Sunday a dealer I was haggling with about the price said after we finally agreed on one, that I must have known this was to be his first sale of the day. Old Jewish thing about you must make the first sale or the day will go bad.[/QUOTE]
