Found this one back in August. Sold it within 2 hours on ebay for 20 times what I paid for it. Definitely my best pick in 20 years.  |

@jerry, best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin, so I've split this out for you.

Very nice! A really nice variety and in high grade for it too. You don't find the one in neck in higher grades often, congrats!

Very nice example! Beats the XF one I picked a while back. Congrats on a great coin!

I knew the guy that bought this would tone it. I see identifying marks to confirm it's the same coin. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185072612143 This is why I don't trust NGC or even PCGS. I think ANACS does a better job of identifying this kinda crap. Edited by Jerry Picker

This one takes the cake though. I sold this to him at the same time as the 1897. I'm dumbfounded. The token was a much lighter color and had some corrosion around the nose. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185068890161 |

That's Mikesmountain coins for you. Guy is a lot of really choice words that cannot be said on CCF. Gives them the MS70 treatment before sending them in. How NGC has not caught on by now when a sub comes in with who knows how many of the same identical toning. Should send a red flag, you'd think  . |

Agree, seller is a scammer.

Sadly, he'll have no problem recouping his money and then some. Should sell for well over that amount.

I congratulated him on his sale and sent him pics of my 09-s VDB and asked if he would dip that one and he said yes. He thought it would go MS62. He would do it to a $1500 coin. That's confidence. I asked ANACS if they would conserve it for $39 and they said no.

I'd side with ANACS, no need for anything on that one except maybe a quick acetone bath at most (precautionary, not knowing how it was previously handled/stored). Then send it in as is.
