Thought this was interesting, not one I've heard about before.
Feeling it might be a bit overpriced though...

Well drat. Too bad my million dollars, just like me, isn’t cool.
good that they are sending the table pounders a piece of paper finally
this is where pcgs needs that searchable database of us made foreign coins, so we can narrow down a possible country
interested in hearing what the error experts think about the planchet this was coined on
You should see his other listings!

anyone make CDN aware Re: composition claims vs. whats in the blurry photos?
The free postage is a generous touch.
Smitten with DBLCs.
No kidding
Mike Byers has a PDF document here https://minterrornews.com/news-5-13-03-foreigners_in_the_mint.html. I didn't see anything close, it's an odd piece if the composition is as claimed.
It has Palladium in it???
How does this coin have metal composition testing from Collector's Universe while also being in a very old ANACS holder, it got crossed from a PCGS holder?
It's legit on ANACS - https://portal.anacs.com/Verify/CertVerification.aspx?cert=860756

Excuse me while I weld three five foot poles together end to end……
no doubt it's on a brass planchet and in a genuine holder
i am curious to know where that planchet came from
then there's the clear photoshowing "Au" but the blurry photo of a pcgs analysis says otherwise. that's the dubious part
I wonder if it was not left to soak in some old coin cleaner that already had various metals suspended in it.
You can shoot XRF through the holder.
I know it's legit, I'm questioning the asking price.

The seller certifiedcitynet appears to be one of those who does NOT actually own coins listed or why does it say it takes them more than 14 days to deliver the coins.
Same method as another seller of high priced coins dreamtrophy you send them $ and the purchase it from somebody else and ship to you.
Coin sold in Stacks auction in Nov 2023 for $660

They may travel for business and not so regularly. Unless you can find one of his coins listed elsewhere, I see no reason to conclude that he didn't own his inventory.
If you're going to ship by registered mail, you may as well warn the buyer ahead of time.
Although, I've had registered packages take longer than that.
He's taking offers... juss' sayin'...

I'd also add that eBay decides when a package will be delivered (and holds the seller to it) based on the handling time the seller states. If those delivery dates get missed, the seller's account can be downgraded. If a seller decides they just don't want to deal with that hassle and aren't afraid that they'll lose business by saying delivery will take a while, they can add a huge handling time. I almost always ship next day, but sometimes I need an extra day or the USPS doesn't scan my package until day 2. I have a 3 day handling time because it gives me buffer, even though I almost always ship faster.
Also, if this seller is using Registered Mail, eBay doesn't account for that, so it's very easy to get a late shipment/delivery on your account through no fault of your own.
Nice profit if it sells.
I looked at it on ebay and later received an ebay email soliciting an offer. Might respond at $700.
i like it at 660.00
