So I purchased a coin this morning and right before I did so I did a quick search of past auctions on ebay and it looks as if I happen upon the very same coin being sold a month or so ago by a different seller ... Numbers match and both coins look a lot alike .... So are these two the same coin ?   |

It appears to be from the spots on the coin lining up.

Fuzzy , you mentioned the light to the left on the second photo was a distraction !
Now I'm like distracting from what ?
Very sorry I'm just not sure what you were meaning by that ?
Reason I'm curious about the coin is not long ago this coin sold for around 150 with 3 bidders at auction ,little more than a month later I buy the coin for a fraction of that at a BIN price ....
Thanks guys for the help:)

sorry for the confusion, I was trying to setup a new laptop computer and I am a little tired anyway.
The lighting on the first picture is from the right and actually casts a fairly even tone on the coin. The lighting on the second picture is from the left and is a little too strong. It incorrectly high-lights and intensifies parts of the coin. Both coin identifier codes are the same, and that would either mean they are the same coin/slab or the original slab was broken into, the coin swapped, and a slab put back together with the same paperwork.

Agree with tomtom, the obverse spots confirm it's the same ooin.

The lighting does make quite a difference. I also wonder why such a difference in selling price? Maybe the item was cancelled or returned?

Well that's something I wondered as well , the original sellers had the starting bid for this coin at about 60 bucks , with three bidders fighting over it the coin sold for around 150 or a buck or two more ...
The seller I just purchased the coin from is not the same seller that had listed it up for auction the first time...
I made a offer on the coin he excepted and stated he'd be loosing money but he would sell it for that price...
So really idk but I feel like I done pretty good since this coin I payed 50 for had sold for 3x that just 5 weeks ago ....

Do you guys think this coin would be worth cracking out and just throwing in on my next anacs submission?
In my opinion the toning looks ok but PCGS thought possible artificial toning ....
Anacs are having specials left and right I believe it may be worth the 10-12 bucks to atleast get a numerical grade even if arrives back from anacs as details I will atleast have a details grade rather than the PCGS genuine !!
Any thoughts on this ?
