why in the world wouldn't the seller advertise the grade?


Perhaps he wasnt familiar with the earlier PCGS slabs and thought it was a basement slab knock off of PCGS?

Thats why it went for $5. All buyers assumed it was just a BU 1937 dime in some sort of airtite.

Wow! Great buy.

It almost looks like a different coin. In the auction pics it looks like the coin is covered in some kind of filmy crud - must have been poor lighting or something.

It is the same coin. I has some very light gold toning which is what shows in the auction photos.

Thanks for all the comments.

I'd like to say I cherry picked this one, but I just stumbled into it.

Amazing deal! I'd say that's a better use of $5 than a Mcdouble and fries! Seriously, that must have been a fantastic feeling to open your parcel and see that, congrats.

I think you should open up a case with ebay for "item does not match listing"
Ask for a full refund..n

Nice coin and in a Gen 1 PCGS holder to boot. Who knows where it's been the past quarter century.
