[QUOTE="Pandacollector, post: 970134, member: 26583"]I am strongly suggesting that seller 10cheetah2009 is selling a coin that he doesn't own or have in his/her possession.

It looks to me like 10cheetah2009 has appropriated the photo from another seller (this happens regularly) and offered the coin at a too-good-to-be-true price. The buyer may never receive anything unless PayPal covers his loss (is there a limit?). eBay seller aldergold has been trying to sell this coin at a fair value for a while. I doubt he/she has any knowledge of what has happened and he/she has been a member for nearly a decade. Anything is possible, I guess, though.
