Ok my issue was the surface looked "pebbly" for want of a better term. I see he has a great ebay rating. But lots of raw high end coins makes me suspicious. I don't mean to impugn any ones rep ( but I guess I did just by asking). This is a tough coin I have been looking for and I thought the collective group knowledge here could help. It did. But the best info I received was ask for it to be graded with a down payment. that's an awesome idea.
