Somebody already snatched it up for the $395 opening yesterday. The photos of that one look like a direct steal from the previous sale.

My guess is the buyer will never see any coin. And with a very low feedback overseas seller, the buyer can only hope that the cash isn't snatched out of the Pay Pal account.

Of course, with ebay's Money Back Guarantee, the buyer will probably get a refund via that method, which takes some time.

If you are going to get burned, at least ebay insures you get refunded.

The coin in the photograph is likely genuine in a true NGC holder ... the seller is likely a rip-off artist from Russia.

Likely the coin will never show up.

Wondering why anyone falls for this scam?

Reviewing recent negative ebay feedback for seller uk_agark shows failed sales for a Incredible Hulk rare comic book, a 1928 Peace dollar and 1894 Morgan dollar. No feedback yet on the 1909-s vdb cent auction.

One feedback example - "Scammer! Copied already sold coins and tried to resale do not buy from!"
