Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 11:51 pm A new listing on ebay from a "Top Seller" with a 99.9% feedback rating, but it looks strange to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-S-VDB-...em2ebcf647b0 Opinions? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/03/2012 12:13 am Mint mark looks right for #4. This is actually one of the seller's cheapest offerings - he's got some stupid nice stuff for sale. I think he's desaturating his images too much. Others of his auctions are like that. If his personal monitor color settings are too saturated, he'd do that without ever knowing what was up. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 04/03/2012 12:26 am Yep. Mint mark is an exact match. Looks like the image has been feathered or cleaned up a bit here and there, though. Not just desaturated. Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/04/2012 08:23 am Any idea on why it was removed? Must have been a fake then? Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 04/04/2012 08:30 am I didn't do it. :-) Perhaps they sold it outside of ebay? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/04/2012 11:42 am It looked dipped and wiped to me, certainly not "choice BU Red" Quote: Perhaps they sold it outside of ebay? If that was the case, the ended auction would still exist. Auctions only poof when ebay yanks them or they are more than 60 days old. Report this Post to the Staff
