Nice looking coin for sure. How come you don't have an ebay account? Hopefully that was your money used to buy that coin. It was a good deal if it was your money but may not end up so great if your mom doesn't know about that. |

Smart man. Great denomination and that's a great year. Based on the photo it appears the coin has virtually no luster which is possibly why it's in a "2" holder. Other than that, I don't see any obvious distractions and it looks like it has a great strike.

Nice coin! I agree with Prethen, the coin looks a little dull, and that may be why it's not graded higher. Make sure to give us a picture when the coin's in hand, it could have great luster and bagmarks, since pictures can be manipulated, and it happens on ebay. |

Nice looking coin and a great date - the NGC grade is likely good so your investment should be safe.

I don't have an ebay account because I've never bought anything off ebay before. And I felt if I made a one-time account some sellers wouldn't want to accept my bid. Yes, I secretly spent $386 of my mother's money without her knowledge or consent.  Of course it was my money. |

As a 3CN fan, I was watching that coin and am glad to know who got it! Great coin, good year, cool!  |

It's a beautiful coin, no doubt about that. I have to say, though, that I feel it was a little overpriced. This seller tends to overprice his items on ebay as he has a website that he also sells from. The most important thing is that you're happy with the purchase, though.  |

Are the pgcs prices not very accurate? It values MS-60 at $320 and MS-63 at $400. I paid $380 for MS-62, figuring it was at least in the ball park. |

The pcgs prices are far from accurate, especially on a coin that doen't trade very often. Use the Heritage website of archived auctions for price comparisons, it shows real transactions.
I couldn't find any previous auctions for ms62's, but that $380 should have bought you a very nice 64 (in ngc plastic, the pcgs ms64 went for $100 more). Even with the 10% restocking fee, I would return it and you should still have enough left to buy a 64. JMHO.

USAP, I would not worry too much about the price you paid. PCGS is generally on the high side of values but you also have a rather rare coin on your hands with only 36,500 made so the value is what you place on it. I checked the Heritage archives and out of the hundreds of thousands of coins that they have sold, only 78 1888 3CNs have been have been handled by them and that dates back to 1993. Grats on winning an affordable rarity  |
