The coin as a true 65 is a very expensive coin ,, even at MS-63 it is not cheap .

But being in that slab authenticity becomes an issue ,, as does the grade !

The guy (Centsles), who originally sold that coin made up his own grading company--and those "grades" often have no basis in reality. While the coin could be legit, the slabs are meaningless and shouldn't be allowed on ebay. For what it's worth, I got a very decent deal on a totally legit 09-S VDB from him, but I didn't believe the MS-65 grade for a moment, lol.

Not only that, but the planchet looks too small for the coin! Look at the close-up of the obverse.

David,
I suspect that's just the foam of this cheapo "slab" covering up the rim. It's really a poor way to show off the coin.

I love this part: "It has been professionally graded as Mint State 65 by a very popular grading service and encased in one of their attractive, airtight holders."

Professionally graded?

Very popular grading service?

Airtight holders? Who wants to bet what would happen if you submerge it in water.
