What do you Merc guys and gals make of this one?. The price is ridiculously low, it's an overseas seller, his identity was recently changed, and he uses one of Heritage's photos. That's 4 reasons to avoid this one, IMHO. As much as I'd like a '17-D in 65FB for that price, I'd hate to send payment and receive nothing. Just sounds fishy to me.

    Maybe that person bought it previously from Heritage. I know Heritage keeps photos around of every coin they've ever had in inventory.

    I have sent him an email telling him I was interested in bidding on this coin, but had reservations for the same reasons as you. 0 feedback, sunglasses, overseas, paypal only payment. I ask him what assurance I would have of receiving the coin if I won it. Also ask if he would take an escrow payment.

    Seems kind of fishy to me. I would be very cautious if bidding.

    Shucks Jim, "Go For It".

    You probably will get No Coin for your money but You will have the pleasure of Hammering the Guy with a Negative Feedback Comment.

    Leave that Coin Down Under if it is even there. image
