Collectingfiend New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/28/2011 2:55 pm How do you determine if a PCGS coin is real? I bought one recently off ebay and the verification number and everything was correct with PCGS's certification verifier tool. The coin looks pretty legit up close. User had 100% positive feedback. Link to auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40024039835....m1497.l2649 Got a great deal for it. Was originally $240 and paid only $180. Moved by Forum Mom from Auction forum to Third Party Grading ( TPG) forum and fixed title to be more descriptive. Report this Post to the Staff

Collectingfiend New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 09:53 am anyone else want to help me out? Is the S mintmark suppose to look like this? Report this Post to the Staff

You could always ask the seller how they came upon the coin. $200 is expensive- but it's not a big dollar coin where I'd be too concerned. My first 32-S looked like this before I upgraded it.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/01/2011 11:34 pm I'm sure it's fine. The $180 price is a retail market correct price for a '32-S in VF20. $240 was too high. Report this Post to the Staff
