delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 11:41 am Just a PSA here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...B:SS:US:1123 This coin ain't VF20! I'd say NMC is full of it or it's an older slab - or something. It may have F details, but it's net grade is in the lower G range. Don't get sucked in! IF it's real, it's still a neat coin. Nothing looks "wrong" about it to me, but if the seller is trying to pawn it off as a VF, they're probably unscrupulous (OR perhaps simply don't have any idea about coins) anyway. Happy bidding!

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 4:04 pm Yes. A neat coin. But not a VF. No. Not a very fine. The bidders are showing a strong interest, but ... If ever there was an example of the truism: "Buy the coin and not the holder", then this is it. A great PSM! Report this Post to the Staff
akane17 Valued Member United States 404 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 4:44 pm I'm not calling shill...High bidder with a 42 rating has 82% of his 29 bids with this seller. That kind of number always makes me think twice. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 5:10 pm Low-grade Chain cents with corrosion still tend to sell for thousands of dollars. This one probably has at least Fine details. If the coin is real it's a terrific bargain at the current bid ($423), despite the obvious corrosion problem (which I notice is not stated on the holder; typical NNC accuracy). I wonder if I can scrape up enough for a winning bid.... Report this Post to the Staff
