<p>[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 2330672, member: 74343"]A couple of years ago i found a raw 1856 flying eagle cent on ebay. It was really worn, holed, and you could just barely make out the 6. However the coin location was in Austria. Immediatly i have concerns but i start bidding on it anyways. It was three days from ending on auction and really cheap. Im sure there were people with similar concerns. I was winning with a bid of $350.00. Crazy. I figured if i won and it was fake or altered i could file a claim through ebay since the seller claimed it was real. But anyways i lost in the last 15 seconds and was outbid by three other people. The final price ended up $515.00. I would have bid more but i was saving for vegas since i was turning 21 a week later. In a way im glad i didnt get it cause it would probably be fake but i guess i will never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
