    If you only knew... however, I can't comment on it.

    I had a feeling you were involved somehow, Eric...

    Who would put an old beauty like that (assuming it's authentic) into such a crappy home?

    As do I. It's sad when you have believe a coin in a TPG's holder is probably either cleaned, damaged or fake (all without disclosure), but there you go...

    This looks like a nice coin to me:

    Look at the sharpness of the obverse rim between 3:00 and 7:00. That and other 'tells' gives this one up as possibly (always tough to tell by a small scan) being a reproduction.

    I'd guess it's a fake and needed for evidence.

    Well it looks like anyone that ever wants to sell a coin on Ebay for a cool BILLION is out of luck! *Tilt*

    I am pretty sure this is actually against ebay rules, if ebay was aware they would take the auction off and warn the poster

    You're right, Jon, they'd pull it. If they'd only be so vigilant on the outright fraud auctions!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    It's probably a police officer or federal agent doing a fraud investigation. Realistically speaking, would someone really put a 1795 Eagle in an ACG holder?? Would they list it for sale on Ebay?? Not likely. If it was authentic, it would be in a PCGS holder and would be sold through Heritage or Bowers and Merena. In other words, if it was real, it would get more respect.

    I've seen that slab numerous times. Guess someone pulled the trigger on the wrong thing!
