is it real?
I have not seen enough of them to say with any certainty.
Things that bother me about it
1. the shipping is out of bounds expensive. No logical reason that priority mail should be that high. The smallest flat rate envelope thing would handle that.
2. Some of the letters, including LIMA look just a little off.
3. The surface looks like it was at the very least dipped to death.
4. Even without the damage there is no way that would grade XF in the Brit system. Even in the US system it would struggle to make VF30. (and I think it is closer to high end fine)
5. an XF would be worth north of $1100, would you put it at $.99 starting? Even if you netted it at VG it still is over $100.
So either it is the deal of the month or the guy knows there is something wrong.
Just my opinion, but what do I know?
