g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 10:34 pm The crack-out artist coinhappyrcm has an 1806 Half Dollar 0n ebay, item #171002013413: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171002013413 seller claims, "problem-free and never cleaned". Yet, PCGS has a differing opinion: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-Genuin...350655463639 Perhaps when this crack-out artist broke the coin out of its VF-CLEANING holder, it became un-cleaned.

However, the most amazing thing is that everyone gives him good feedback. Lots of money to be made for unethical people. That's why I almost always buy slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 11:00 pm Amazing it is currently at $900 with 46 bids and 30 minutes to go. Somebody is going to get buried in this one. Edited by Joe2007 03/10/2013 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Clearly it's the PCGS Genuine holder they bought it in. I assume it will ship raw and must admit, it is a light cleaning. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

When somebody has no life. like me lol, I look at soo many coins and on many of them, certain things stand-out. In this case, I was doing research on pricing my 1806/5 Half Dollar, and I came across the PCGS problem coin, and I could see, in his pics, the PCGS distinctive plastic prongs and matched the coin.

chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 10:33 am What's amazing is any experienced collector can see that it's photographed while still being in a PCGS holder (you can see traces of the prongs). Did they not ask to see the entire holder? Report this Post to the Staff
