I like to see just about any coin 'in hand' first, before I decide to buy, anyway. I could be wrong, but that doesn't bother me, if I'm not interested. Report this Post to the Staff

Being it's Graigslist, I assume you would meet with him and view the coin in hand. If he is on the up & up, he might be willing to meet with you at a local coin shop. Good Luck.

I'm constantly on the prowl looking for bargains out there, thanks for your input, you guys/gals are a wealth of knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 2:18 pm The coloring just looks wrong (artificial). That would be enough for me to stay away from it. However, if you really want it, I would highly suggest bringing a scale and a dial caliper with you. Report this Post to the Staff
