I wish I had that much money to spend on one coin. It is a beautiful coin for sure.

Absolutely amazing coin!

Steer clear MySilverYears, that seller has a reputation and it ain't good. Why would that coin be raw?

Can confidently claim that the photos are manipulated to hide what needs to be hid.

PCGS has the value for an MS-65+ RD example at $51,500. The Eagle Eye PhotoSeal and CAC stickers might help this awesome coin exceed even that amount.

Regarding that 1856 Flying Eagle on Hibid: lack of certification is a red flag. When a key date like this is offered raw there is usually a reason. Some kind of "altered surface" problem wouldn't surprise me.

Great Indian cent - looks like PCGS pop report for 65+ is 3

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Not that I would have been a bidder on that 1856.
I have pretty much stopped buying coins I cannot see in-hand.
There is far too much monkey business affecting collectibles hobbies
nowadays. Very discouraging, especially for those with limited knowledge
or a tendency to be overly trusting. Unfortunately this trend shows no signs of
slowing down.
