Yes the thing is if you have an Canadian address you can't bid on it either it just blocks your bid the same as trying to contact the seller it blocks your message and tells you to read the description.

It's idiotic moves like this that cost someone 100's of dollars. I would have bought that piece for someone, as it stands I couldn't be bothered.

I don't understand it either unless someone has been burned shipping something up North. You know in the States we can add tracking, signature needed all sorts of things to insure that it gets there safely but not once it crosses the border.

Hammered price - $898 plus $5 shipping - if you notice is does have a slight ding at 9:00 on the reverse. But all in all, a tough coin to find in this grade

I've shipped from both sides of the border, signatures and tracking/insurance all work to the point where you can even use each post office's tracking numbers on the others site... that's right, canada post tracking works on USPS.COM and US Post tracking numbers work on Canadapost.ca ... imagine that :) . True there are less international services than domestic services but the service is still there for high value items.
Congrats Danlos it's a nice piece and you didn't have to fend off my bids ;)

Who do you know at PCGS to get that grade unless the seller posted a poor scan?Nice coin but from the scan it looks very fine.

Coin looked excellent in hand. I would have taken EF40 or AU50, heck I can't tell. Trends is $3500 is AU50. PCGS has graded only 18 better.
I got this key coin at 75% off trends. I took a chance and it paid off :).

 Hi Doctorman, it didn't surprise me that P.C.G.S. gave it an AU-50. They base a high percentage of their grades on eye appeal vs. technical grading. At best I would have qualified it for an EF-40. (and that's after a couple of glasses of wine) I'll offer danlos $1,400 (full trends) for it and see if he bites!  Glenn

You guys really rely on bad ebay pics a bit too much ;). Glenn, I'll keep your offer in mind. I'll take some nice pics, will put it up on ebay and see what happens :).
