Just noticed this listing on ebay. I think the guy obviously isn't selling the coin, more so advising people to be on the lookout.

Stolen at the baltimore show.

It's an ad in a way.

These "SECURE" slabs should have tracking devices secretly planted inside them because all of the $10,000+ coins slabbed nowadays by PCGS are required to have the secure label. THAT will make them "secure."

They're not going to get sold in the holders anyway.

Eagle Eye is the company (owned by Rick Snow) that the coin was stolen from.
Rest in Peace

I wonder what Rick has to pay for a BIN on a $135,000 coin that he's not really selling?

I didn't add it up because I know it would scare me.

It would be an interesting feature to put RFID in the secure slabs and then to be able to register your item as stolen and then have it scanned by PCGS at shows as part of the service at some point of entry so if the coin shows up, an alert goes off silently somewhere.

It would probably just encourage crack outs though I guess.

Hopefully, the major TPG's are on alert of any raw 64-L's of this importance coming through again.

Bobby131313 is correct...

Using either a fixed price format or just a regular style auction on ebay, it would cost him $750.00USD on an item worth $135,150 to post his auction.

But because it's an item he does not have in hand, ebay may charge him less because he isn't actually selling the item, just promoting that it was stolen...

,,,and yes, coins worth this much should come in a larger, different slab altogether with some type of tracking device.

If you put a tracking device on all of the World's most expensive coins and stored that information somewhere it would just be a matter of time before somebody hacked the database and got GPS coordinates to every rare coin that owners thought were hidden. Information like that is becoming less safe by the day.

Makes sense. My idea was a bad idea.
