jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 5:47 pm Came across this listing... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Imperial-Ru...em1c56710f93 Quite a scarce coin, the blurring of the NGC serial number though worries me to the point I am not bidding... Any thoughts? Has anyone else heard of blurring serial numbers on graded coins for 'privacy purposes?'

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 6:09 pm Very tough coin, but I cannot see why seller would delete the slab number. Have you asked him? And by the way - no returns! Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 6:14 pm This smells to high heaven, Nearly a page of blank space, followed by I'm not sure if it's a copy? The graded population of this piece can't be too high, so it should be traceable on the NGC site. I wouldn't be willing to take the risk of bidding under these circumstances.

YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 11:09 pm The 1797 rouble looked suspicious BEFORE I saw the blotted out ID number. No ebay picture should be that blurry. Report this Post to the Staff
