[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1119934, member: 26030"]GDJ, I just bought this last night on ebay and it's being shipped so I haven't seen the coin in hand. The large photos that i used to make the image in my original post came from the sellers web page ... he also included a photo of the coin in the PCGS holder. I do note that the holder photo shows the coin being a bit less dark and less contrasty, softer colors, which I actually like a bit better -- I will have to see which is closer to reality (maybe this 2nd photo? who knows!) [ATTACH]112834.vB[/ATTACH] Your thought that this might be your old coin is interesting -- although I think the odds of that are pretty small (don't you think?) Was your coin graded or raw when you sold it? It makes me wish that PCGS would allow owners to "register" their PCGS graded coin slabs, so you can always see who the current owner is of a graded coin (and perhaps a history of who owned the coin) -- something like that would certainly help with the detection all the fake chinese PCGS coins/slabs in the market place -- although some might not want to "advertise" that they own a rare coin. If PCGS would allow this, the registered owner could be added to these Cert Verification pages: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/CERT/19172095.html[/url][/QUOTE]
