KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 4:35 pm I saw this coin on ebay and it seems underpriced. Does anyone see any red flags about it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1882-SEATED...em4ab8087d41 Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 5:13 pm Looks real to me. However, the photos can be very deceiving as you really want to see something like this in hand before buying. With ANY classic Proofs, you really have to ask yourself the question, "Why the heck is this still raw?" In other words, what's the problem with it. Maybe nothing. His starting price might be below a reserve? Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 7:08 pm The seller offers a 14 day return policy and free return shipping. I don't think he would have such a liberal return policy if he was trying to pass off a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1660 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 7:13 pm It's not under priced for that year. A slabbed proof has a fmv of $450. But that particular coin has some issues. There appears to be sight wear on some high points, like the hair above her ear and the eagle's feathers, and there a 'thing' on the feathers of the top arrow. The surfaces aren't really photographed well. Perhaps it was cracked out of a TPG holder that listed (or caused) some flaws. Edited by ArrowsAndRays 06/04/2012 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
