Ah, yes -- the old "estate sale" ploy. No returns, as is, private auction...round up the usual suspects...
And get this -- a PCI GOLD SLAB calls it MS-64RD, and the seller says, "In my, I don’t know what I’m talking about, hyping the coin opinion, think it could approach MS67RD status. I think if broken out and sent into the right grading company you could do it."
Crack it out of an MS-64RD Gold label PCI slab and get 67 somewhere else? Maybe a "right" grading company that sues people for exposing their grading practices compared to the respected portion of that industry...
And I still can't imagine paying over $900 for a coin without seeing the friggin' *reverse*....
Funny thing is....this seller has sold a lot of coins and paper money, without any of this hype or "estate sale" crap. Here's a recent sale they had for a PCGS MS-65RD 1912 cent -- I guess when you have good stuff in a respected slab, you don't need the "as is, estate sale" crud -- especially when you have 100% positive feedback and a rating of 399. But even in this case, c'mon...show us the reverse!
Sounds like a good parody to me. Any guess what the reserve is? I think it's purposely high enough to only be sold to a complete "idiot" just like the seller said.
PCI has gone through some different incarnations during their time as a grading company. Several years (not sure how many), they went under new ownership, and the slab color around the border of the insert was changed to a gold color. At the same time, their reputation went into the crapper, and their grading standards took a dive also. Now, experienced coin collectors don't put any confidence in finding accurate grading in a gold pci slab. Now, an old green pci slab is oftentimes a different story........
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
However, this dude's offer of a 1901 uncirculated eagle is rather interesting..... if he isn't overhyping that, it must be at least a $300 coin, retail??

<< <i>As this particular coin was cosigned to me from a very, very old Estate Sale >>
And yet, it's in a new PCI gold label holder.
I can't figure out if the seller is just having some fun with sarcasm, or actually trying to unload the coin on a sucker.
