    Looks fake....Rev detail looks a bit off.

    seller has less then stellar feedback, not good

    Not fake, and I agree, great deal if they get them. Check the recent feedback though.

  • ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 6,750 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Question is- will they actually get it? This seller's feedback has recently been filled with non-delivery negatives. I can't comment on authenticity.

    Collector, occasional seller

    This looks dicey.... I checked due to above comments... I too wonder if the buyer will get his coins...or, if he does, will they be the coins pictured....We may never know.... Cheers, RickO

    Buyer probably won't receive them.

    Check out the seller's feedback.

    Sketchy, to say the least.

    Looks like this deal could easily turn into a disaster.

    Buying uncertified gold coins on ebay is about as risky as it gets.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

    Maybe , with his most recent feedback, he might consider changing his seller name from rogerdocone.... to roguerdocon

    Eh, not really. Ebay has a REALLY really good buyer protection program. Don't get the coins? Full refund. Get them, and not genuine? Full refund. Little risk, tons of reward on this one.

    The feedback of the seller is a red flag. I got better things to do than deal with a flakey ebay seller. Feedback needs to ALWAYS be checked in my opinion. Find the good sellers and go with them. Bad karma sellers abound on ebay.

    My guiding maxim: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There really is no Santa Claus in numismatics.

    97 feedback with a rating of 95.3%?? that is horrible and going to the feedback it's absurd. why would anyone even take the chance with over $4k unless they were stupid, desperate or a shill??

    also, I wouldn't label this a Cherrypick since it is clear for anyone to see.
