I think the offer is legit. The slab looks like a PCGS one even though the label is not pictured. I agree the label should be included in the photos. And if you e-mailed the seller, he would probably send you a pic with a label. The coin has a soft strike on the obverse, so I am surprised is it in a 66 holder (everything else -- luster, marks, eye appeal must make up for it). For me, that soft strike detracts from eye appeal -- I'd rather have a 65 with a better strike (and pocket the $ I saved!!)
The auction looks good to me too. I think the seller is foolish for not picturing the whole slab, but he has a good return policy. I'd bid on it (if I had the $$)
Looks legit. Looks like a PCGS holder. I think they should have taken a picture of the entire slab, or at least another one of the label. If you're ever interested in a coin like this, it couldn't hurt to ask the seller for a picture of the entire slab, or of the label, or at the very least to give you the cert number on the slab (which you could then look up). I suspect not taking that one extra picture could cost them a few bids and more than a few dollars.
echoing rbm86, obverse looks like something from the new orleans mint. I think this should be sent back for the refund to a 65 grade. Id rather have a mark or two than a strike like that.
hmm well to me it didnt look like a 66 at all.. looks like maybe a 65 if not even a 63... but then again im still learning how to grade them.... thanks for your replies all Mach
