From the Bio he gives under history it does not sounds like he needs the money. The presidents of the company is a millionaire and these are his chump change.

That's just shy of $100K...wouldn't Heritage be a better venue for a coin like that?

I looked at this coin and the others he has on ebay and there is no way anyone can state that the early bust type coins, silver and copper,have not ever been cleaned or processed to remove any toning it may have had. Silver and copper this old would have some natural patina regardless of how it was stored. Most of what he's selling just don't look right for their age. IMHO of course! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-CAPPED...em2a13b37008Ed ANA LM-3175

It's very hard for me to believe that Bust Half I linked to can remain blast white as Gyrene stated, for that period of time. Where was it stored for that many years! These coins are such a limited market. I also wonder why he does not just auction them at Heritage. ebay? I can't imagine ANY of these coins will move on ebay.

Very few of these coins are slabbed. What is best way to go about purchasing a low grade if you are not an expert in the area? My biggest concern, as usual, is a counterfeit

I agree jd; I have a 1798 dollar that I've owned for many years, and have, of late, been concerned about it's authenticity. It looks OK to me, but my grading skills are meager, and I've been debating whether to submit it for certification - guess I'm not sure I want to know!
