Ltrs that appears to be genuine, something like AU58 details (Repaired)- [maybe even MS det.]; sold for $11,050. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293086706091 It does not show up as a recent Heritage Auction pickup. Coin was bought at auction for $5,280 in an NGC AU details-cleaned slab and cracked-out: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...view/3-GOQ5S Report this Post to the Staff

rampop New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 10:47 am Hello All First comment here but have followed this seller "thedockter" on ebay, and see that the practices have not been stopped. Ignoring the backstory, which is understandable as sales ploy however it strains credibility-but regards the higher priced coins, which is really the more egregious practice, cracking them out of problem holders or the shilling of their auctions?

OttawaVoyageur Valued Member Canada 206 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 6:43 pm We are now in October and this huge safe keeps producing more... Tonight it is a bunch of 500-year-old British and Irish coins as well as a 2013 silver eagle ''The shop owner was an avid coin collector and hoarded away some of the best pieces that came into the shop, just as his father had done'' Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 7:38 pm I've followed his listings for a while, running into them by accident. The old safe is an interesting sales gimmick, as is the cinder block building that houses it. It makes you feel like a virtual picker. Some of the items he puts up are quite interesting, but I really don't want to get into a bidding war over any of them. They all look like "details" coins, caveat emptor at the best.
