It's genuine, but I've seen a number of problematic coins sold by this seller. Over sharpened pics make it impossible to accurately judge the surfaces and look of the coins they sell. I would personally stay away.

Their auctions also tend to end high in my opinion. Buy from a seller with accurate pics. 1913 T1 is one of my favs. Good luck!

I believe it's genuine, but this dealer is known for doctoring images of his coins.

You can find his feedback, though it does require some navigation.

That one also looks either cleaned, corroded or both

@dear, in some cases you will find that specific dealers have been discussed previously on CCF as they are well-known to others in the field. Just use their name in the search box. For example, here are six pages of older comments on Great Southern:

And here is a more recent thread with additional opinions:

@Dearborn, if you want to hang tight a few days, I'm out of town but when I get back I can see what I have for this year.

Ty has some nice coins, I'm sure he could find something you'd like.

Thanks Ty. On this coin, I'm in no rush, so yes, I can wait.

OK thanks Grape!

On the nickels, I'm not as well as informed as I would like to be, which is why I'm asking for all this help. Thanks again.

Yes, certainly better to ask and take caution if you have any reservation. That's what everyone is here for!

I'll send you a PM more than likely this Sunday.
