jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 02/10/2017 06:00 am Same coin,there is a thread 7 pages long on CT about this. I zoomed in on the trueviews and posted the pictures on Ct. I DO NOT see the identifying marks on this coin. Die scratches in front of Abes nose,die scratch about the letter B in Liberty and the reverse V notch on the reverse after the word UNUM is missing. Just a really nice business strike IMO and PCGS messed up. Report this Post to the Staff

What actually happens to the errant slab is still in doubt. I hope the owner does the right thing. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 08:49 am Whoever bought this did a foolish thing. It is not wise to announce such things. It invites trouble. Do you think PCGS would have asked for the coin back for review if this didn't make such a big splash? As to the answer of the original question "How To Buy From Great Southern Coin" The answer, in a word, is Carefully. They even say so in their listings. They buy heavily and sell quickly. Much of the raw stuff they sell on ebay is how they get it, it may or may not be a problem coin, they do not spend much time worrying about it. There is a Buffalo nickel expert on the PCGS forum that has at least twice bought a raw nickel as a business strike from GSC that was graded as proof. If it would have been me I would have sent it to Heritage or Stacks and maybe or maybe not told anyone about it when the check had cleared. But that's just me Report this Post to the Staff
