Which Coin Arrived First?

Anytime I order anything from Pennsylvania it sits in half a dozen different hubs for days at a time. The Indianapolis hub seems to suck particularly bad.

The Pennsylvania coin is on the Amtrak Mail Train. So it has to go to Utah & New Mexico first before headed back your way.

 

You are braver than I am buying coins from Russia. WAY too many fakes and switcheroo horror stories I have heard from there.

 

Its from a seller I've bought from several times, never with any issue. My biggest issue is the seller uses this apparently Russian TPG and I have to cross them to NGC. But the coins have always crossed at or above the grade I bought it at. Here's the last one I bought from him, which crossed as NGC MS-64:

 

@physics-fan3.14 : That's a new TPG to me. Never seen that "NGC-esque" slab before. Nice coin though.

 

Does he have anything inexpensive? I don't have an example of that Russian slab.

 

The seller is "numisrus" on Ebay. He doesn't have anything listed right now, but I'm sure it won't be too long. I'm not sure what you consider expensive, but the coin I just bought from him and is on it's way was only $80.
