<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 764066, member: 13342&quot;]<font face="Arial">Ok, so I thought I was done buying gold for a while. NOPE! Bug hit hard again in a way I didn&#039;t expect it to. I have always revered the elusive southern branch mint coins of Charlotte and Dahlonega, but never really considered one because of the high cost needed to own a decent example. This one caught me by surprise. I initially bid on it, and ended up being the highest bidder except I was stopped cold by the seller&#039;s &quot;reserve&quot;, as the next highest bid was way below mine. Oh well, moved on. 2 days later, the seller sent me a second chance offer at the bid that ended below mine! My first thought was it was possibly fake. But no, it was legit from ebay and I confirmed it with the seller. Honestly, I can&#039;t believe how inexpensive it ended up being. I couldn&#039;t find ANY in the Heritage archives that went cheaper than this until like 2002 or so, evern ones that were cleaned/hacked up/graffiti-ed whatever.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">Now this coin is certified by NGC and looks pretty decent from the pics, although the obverse picture leaves something to be desired(It&#039;s not very clear). The reverse looks quite nice to me. This US seller(hcc coins) has sold thousands of coins and has a 100% feedback rating, and a 7 day full refund guarantee. I have also heard really good reviews from him in the other forum.&nbsp; So I jumped on it. It is a gamble based on less than great pictures, but given all of the conditions it was a calculated risk. I will say what I paid for it and the grade later and will post better pictures when I receive the coin. Now from you guys.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial">What would you grade and value the coin based on the pics? First impression?</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
