[QUOTE="James O'Brien, post: 3976323, member: 70800"]I appreciate your dilemma. That is a very difficult set to collect. Kudos for accumulating 117 out of the 119 - that required a lot of patience and effort. You have obviously also accumulated enough specialist knowledge along the way so as not to pay £10,549 for a coin that's obtainable for less than £500. I am not saying that 'slabbing' is bad, or that it is poor value for money. (You made a very clear case for the benefits of slabbing) My gripe is with the eBay sellers who 'use' the pieces of info that are correct, to disguise the pieces of info that clearly are not. If you look at the example, you will see: a) the NGC info is 100% accurate b) mixed in with it, is the lie that this coin is RARE c) and then the BIG LIE at the end... the ridiculous price tag! I feel eBay could/should do more re 'feedback' on seller descriptions BEFORE an obviously fraudulent sale takes place.[/QUOTE]
