    thanks! Since the $10 Indian was mentioned, I thought I would post the example that I own. Definitely low grade and cleaned. I purchased this coin when I was buying gold coins at melt as bullion investments a year or two ago. In hindsight, I wish I had paid the extra $100 to get a higher grade specimen, at least XF-AUish. I started as somewhat an investor, and then turned into a collector. Funny how that happens.

    Anyways, I may trade this in for a better version here eventually.

    that's a really good price. I usually don't see these for much under a grand. Something seems a bit fishy though, and I can't put my finger on it.

    Pay with a credit card through paypal. It does seem a little fishy though. his feedback is a little odd. does have a 14 day return period.

    Yeah. I think its a trigger that goes off in my brain when I see on ebay:
    - big hunk of raw gold
    - below average feedback
    - better than average price

    It is most likely ok and I may have considered it if I hadn't already purchased the Saint. Maybe someone on cointalk can buy one and report back. :)

    It's a never ending source of amusement to me how so many of these "rare" coins are so easy to find.

    It's because they are not rare. They aren't even scarce.
