Hello gang, I've wanted a high grade Franklin proof for a while now and was wondering if ya guys thought this was a good deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beautiful-1...39?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2ebada2c23 Thanks!
The most recent one to sell on HA sold for $32 back in October in an NGC holder. The PR67 Cameo coins have been selling for $38-$62 in recent months...so I would say this coin is a little on the high end for it not being cameo. Plus, I personally like to stay away from auctions that are selling coins with "more than 1 available" because the coin pictured isn't necessarily the coin you get. Also, he says the coins come "with deep cameo shine and luster" yet they are not graded as even cameo. I would personally stay away from this one. I'm sure they are nice coins, but there are too many things I don't like with this auction.
This is the main issue for me. You buy coins based on what you see and I don't like buying a coin online that I have never had a chance to look it. Slabbed or not.
95, I believe it to be a good deal if that is the actual coin that you receive. Look at the clean strike in the "In God We Trust." Very nice strike. No paintbrush effect (hazing). The quanity 7 though? Give me a break.
