onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 11:31 am Looks like a small bidding war erupted or 1 of them wanted the coin real bad The auction Billie posted, the coin doesn't seem right for the grade. I wouldn't touch that one Edited by onejinx 01/30/2011 11:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
Billie Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 11:38 am I just posted that for an example of what the actual value should be. No I wouldn't bid based on that picture either. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 11:47 am Maybe a low population of MS 66 for that date? I say get a raw BU that works for YOUR eye appeal and the heck with the grading companies. Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 12:50 pm I believe the one Billie posted is a counterfeit slab. Look at the dash between the serial #'s. It should be slanted and slightly curved on the ends, not straight across. Edited by chris12018 01/30/2011 12:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 12:58 pm I just reported it. The listing will soon be pulled. We as a community/family have to stop this kind of nonsense. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 12:59 pm chris, that's what its supposed to be on the new slabs, this is an old slab, the dash on the old slabs are supposed to be straight. Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 1:02 pm Adam nice catch. I'm eating crow as I type. I checked some of my older slabs, you are on the money. And Thank You. I will have to unreport this. Edited by chris12018 01/30/2011 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 2:45 pm Bidding war is what I figured. Winner was nw, fighting with ii. Le signed off @ $88.65. All three of them must have seen something that I couldn't. aa signed off at $39.75. Smart guy. I was in a bit highter than that @ $48.00, but on Esnipe and never got the bid in. Problem being, I am looking to build my set of Washingtons, but this is crazy. To see common stuff going for darn near $100.00 has got me worried. All in all great fun, but a bit scary.

Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 2:50 pm Counterfeit slab has me worried as well. I always check the grading service, and when they (NGC) have a photo of the coin I am quite satisfied. I look at the ebay feedback, and certainly look for obvious stuff, what else should I be looking for? Any tips to calling a counterfeit slab? Upstate, you probably have the best approach . . . . .

schnauzer Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 02:13 am Valued at about $75- $80.00. It is graded though. All in all, you missed out on nothing really. Report this Post to the Staff
