 Are they just guessing grades over at PCGS?  |

Goatieman, I'll make sure to look out for yours - is your ebay name the same? |

Just spotted another 1925 Penny (8 pearls) that looks dodgy. Item no 251003527733 (currently at $71). The 2 in the date is sus' and do my eyes fail me or is it an Indian obverse? |

He's got 10 of them, that tells me that you don't get the coin in the photo. The certified one is an ok coin, just overpriced, it retails at about $175 in its condition so if you offer the seller $150, I reckon he'll take it. I wouldn't pay more than $175 for it - we've sold XF40s at the $200-$300 range.
Remember when considering PCGS gradings, the standards are different to raw coin grades in Australia. A PCGS VF25 is about Fine - good Fine to a raw coin dealer in Australia (i.e. a $175 coin).

Good point, I didnt see that the seller had 10. So I could offer $150 but I won't know the type of coin I'm getting....hmmm |

That sounds very dodgy to me. that US TPGs shouldn't assume to grade any coin minted outside the US; they donn't always grade US coins correctly either.  |

The coin in the photo isn't that great, it has a knick behind the king's head, it also has verdigris in the F & last but not least the top of the coin is weakly struck. sksQBPDU1G)T4!~~60_12.jpg) But if he's got 10 coins, I'd be requesting photo's of what he considers the best coin. With 10 coins you'd expect the seller would make more of an effort. |

I'll definately be passing on this listing sounds a bit dodge.

he has sold a few 1925's if you look at his feedback, ask him to show you his best for the price you can afford

Send him a message by clicking ask a question at the bottom of the listing. I would personally offer $130 and see what he comes back with.
