[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 2989806, member: 92083"]I bought it for $470 on eBay. I was weary of his offer, especially for a raw coin, and even more so for one this expensive. However, believe it or not, he put in writing on his eBay message that If it comes back as not genuine or any kind of "Details" he will not only refund me in full for what I paid him, but will pay all my submission fees and shipping to PCGS. He also put in writing he will gladly extend the return policy knowing it takes time to get it back from TPGs. I know that putting it in writing, along with eBay's overly buyer-friendly return policy, that it was better to take a chance here than doing this at a show where I wouldn't be guaranteed a refund if came back with details. The other thing I wondered was "why don't you just send it in, since it clearly looks like at least an MS65?" He said he will never again send a coin to any TPG because PCGS lost a valuable gold piece of his 16 years ago, and doesn't trust their handlers. My LCS dealer didn't want to submit it for me at first, but seeing I am a good customer, he said he would charge me $60 because it was a variety and they charge more for that. Might be a little high, but I was grateful and after all he did all the paperwork. I am super happy this is roughly a $1,000 coin and I only put $530 into it. Is this what a cherrypick means?[/QUOTE]
