[QUOTE="jlblonde, post: 1414774, member: 32000"]Don't waste your time on these. I see this kind of error a lot on this issue in foreign junk bins. Here's my reasons for not purchasing this coin (not saying you want to): 1) The coins are in poor condition. If they were in fact really rare, there would be documentation on them and they would have been hoarded in XF to BU condition. 2) Both sellers don't allow for close ups of the images. 3) The fact that they mention "Rare" or "Overstuck" in their listings without providing more info is questionable. Who says they are rare? Overstuck doesn't mean it's worth anymore than a normal one. 4) Shipping charges are outrageous. 5) Neither seller seems to be knowledgeable in coin attribution. They just seem to be passing along whatever comes across their desks. 6) The huge variance in prices means neither seller actually knows what they're worth. 7) A good purchase of this coin would be an XF (excellent patina) to UNC @ $.49 to $1.99 with Free Shipping or up to $2.99 shipping.[/QUOTE]
