BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 12:00 pm If it is counterfeit, it's darn good. An aged transfer die copy is a possibility but I think it's genuine. It needs to be authenticated for sure. The starting bid likely reflects ebay's policy of sub-$2500 opening bids for raw coins. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 12:17 pm I was wondering that myself, IndianGoldEagle. I know the consensus seems to be it appears authentic, why is everything else he has for sale slabbed but not this one? Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 12:42 pm Looks good to me as well. As for why it isn't slabbed. Could be because he just got the coin and wanted to flip it quickly. He could be selling it on consignment and the owner doesn't want to fork over the cost of sending it in or is paranoid the coin will be lost. Any number of reasons. If I were bidding on it, I would work an agreement first that the seller send the coin straight to ANACS. The instant it comes back genuine, the funds are released and the coin comes home.

1188howest Valued Member Canada 470 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 2:14 pm Could be a hot coin in more ways than one. That heavy rub, including the obvious scratches and the missing slab indicate potential fraud ... - in more ways than one. Report this Post to the Staff
