Remember - I collect ACG slabs. I even have a couple of low value gold coins for historical purposes.

If you are trying to sell coins in the $4K-16K range, why wouldn't you crack them out into real plastic?

Isn't it required to sell coins for $2,500 or more certified?

1909-S VDB

If a coin has a pit under the date where a mint mark usually is located, you then put S? in the title.

If the VDB is very faint, you explain that "At the time the U.S. mint had the V.D.B. removed from remaining coins."

The problem of course is that there are tens of thousands of coins in those garbage SGS slabs. Just because they've been closed down... doesn't mean the slabs have been taken out of circulation.

People who didn't know any better and bought them will eventually dispose of their collection and they'll show back up priced based on legit high grade coins and expect to receive that much for them.

It does come with a free protective case.

In all seriousness it's going to cost them 2.98 to ship plus a dollar for the bubble wrapper - so anything less than five bucks they might as well just break it out and spend it at face

It can't be - did you look up the PCGS # to see if has the same picture to the number? If so, that's crazy!

Toning, no matter how heavy, does not reduce technical grade. It is also a bad photo.

Do not get me wrong, I would still pass on this one.
