Looking at your comments alone, I wouldn't dare bid on this one. However, looking at the pictures I think the coin is genuine, if not higher than AU and Centsles is an honest seller (90% of his stuff is NNC slabbed) even if he has let his service decline in the past few months.

its genuine
its dipped and those are scans so its MS Details at best
the rub with this guy is that he tries to pass it as problem free but he is not selling a fake coin. he just thinks he knows better than the other TPGs but its against our collective grain so we rightfully shun his practice...all good IMO

I think the coin is real it's just been dipped to death.
Real world slabbing will render it NET graded AU Details.....(maybe).

If I'm going to spend almost 12 grand on a coin (which will probably never happen) I'm going to make sure it's from someone reputable. Couldn't imagine forking out that much for what I'm seeing in that auction.

I doubt that this one's genuine. Yet, there's no close-up pic. Perhaps, we can eventually see by the feedback?

I would have never even considered this coin. To many negative factors.
Basement slabber, cleaned to death, no guarantee it's genuine.
I guess some folks have 11 grand to risk...not me.

Theyre thinking theyll cross it and turn it into a 25 or 40k+ coin in a PCGS or NGC slab, but are blinded by greed and dont realize if that were possible the seller would have done that themselves. Knowing who the seller is now I would venture to guess it came out of a details slab of PCGS or NGC already |

Most of his negative feedbacks are from over graded coins.

centles - I knew it before I clicked on the link. He has been discussed at length here on CCF. A lot of his higher end coins come from top tier slabs with details issues. Crack out artist.
basebal21 nailed it.

He purchases an MS-60 cleaned coin for $7,500, cracks it out, puts it in one of his MS-64 NNC holders and sees a $4,350 profit.

Is it me or does that look like the coin discussed here recently and was pulled?  Also, every time I see the username "centles", my brain interprets it as "senseless".  |

Ironically, "cent less" is certainly raking in the dollars ...

 I may not like his tactics, but he must have made millions by now. |
