Good reason to buy slabbed coins.

Look at the repair job on this coin link

    he bought it recently, had it slabbed, trying for 150% profit with buy it now. good luck to him.

    quick turnaround

    I wonder what it looks like in hand, but I can't see where it was plugged in those photos. Then again, my eyes aren't the greatest.

    I'm wondering if the original seller tried to have it slabbed at one of the majors first and it got BB'd. I note that he has a no-return policy:



    << <i>Due to estate liquidation, all sales are final. >>



    Estate or no, I find it hard to believe that a coin with that much value would not have made it's way to a grading service at some point in the past.

    cost was 1100 + 50 (s&h) + 150(repair estimate) = 1300, ask = 1800, that is only 38% profit, NOT 150%. NOT outrageous in this old collectors humble opinoin.

    i was using his buy it now price - so it's probably more like trying for 100% profit. and i still wish him luck.

    Is it possible that big _ _ _ dent under the date is where it was plugged (Image w/o slab). If so, can't see how he can claim you can't see with a loupe.

    I guess that is supposed to be the before repair photo. I guess if the guy used some punctuation OR more probably, I should have just not even bothered to comment, I might not have been confused. imageimage

    "NO RETURN" SENCE COIN HAS BEEN GRADED. P.S. THIS IS NOT LIKE NONE OF THE FAKES GOING AROUND.

    Being in a SEGS holder makes a coin beyond question and thus ineligible for a return?! image

    Sence [sic] he uses a double negative, does that mean the coin IS like the fakes going around?

    Actually... look at the middle of the 9, just to the left, and you can see a small circle... i think that is the plug
