This is a scary statement in the current listing...
"This coin has never been sent in to be graded due to the high cost."
Personally I just sent in an 1802 Draped Bust Silver Dollar to PCGS and it graded
VF Details, at the "high" cost of $69.95 (plus shipping to get it to PCGS)
That aside my rules on ebay are:
1. Buy the seller first (returns accepted? feedback, location, other items listed and sold.)
2. Then buy the pictures, and not the slab.
3. If any of these are questionable, then I will ask the seller for more information/pictures.
If these rules fail, then my business goes elsewhere.
As to this coin specifically, it "appears authentic" based on my limited knowledge, the 2 pictures provided, and text in the description with weights and measurements. But pictures of the lettered edge would be nice since it is not in third party plastic.
JMHO
