. NOW before you because I picked up a fake details coin, I actually believed the grade was good until I got the coin


So wait is the holder fake?

No the holder and coin is real. But it should be details not straight grade.

Glad it worked out. Hard to believe anyone would give that a straight grade, much less a premier grading company.

I've had coins that I thought were over graded on the slab but nothing like this. A pure details coin grading straight :(

I don't generally buy on ebay and I don't generally buy slabbed coins as I don't see the value of slabs but since I can't examine the coins I've been buying slabs on ebay (dang covid 19!) but lately the grades are just not accurate. This coin, the 1863 at AU 50, which is probably an AU 58, several others. I know people buy the slabs but they just aren't as accurate as many people make them out to be.
