johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 11:59 am Hi, I've been looking for raw UNC shields (I just want one as a type). Does anyone have any tips on buying UNC shields? I don't know much about the series except for mintage numbers. What do you think about these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/29157827755...RK:MEBIDX:IT http://www.ebay.com/itm/29157831764...RK:MEBIDX:IT Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 12:49 pm I like the first one better, but just beware GSC juices the photos, and have been known to use shill bidders. They do have a nice return policy, but you will lose the shipping costs. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 1:57 pm Beyond what is already written above, they have quite a following of bidders that are willing to pay above FMV for raw coins. I added them to my "sellers excluded from saved search list" years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
duncanbishop24 Pillar of the Community United States 898 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 2:52 pm I personally do not trust GSC solely based on the fact of their pictures. I would assume it's a very nice coin, but not the one I believed I was bidding on. It would be interesting to compare hand in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
