    The coin is graded AU58.You can see the grade in the pic with the slab. He quotes 65 prices,

    What does this coin sell for in 58?image

    The coin's an AU58. Look at the ***0.58/**** on the label.
    I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!

    It obviously turned in the holder. I wonder if PCGS will honor their guaranteeimage

    << <i>Since you know the actual grade of this coin you should pull the auction. To not do so is fraud. >>





    << <i>LET IT BE THE LAST TIME YOU CONTACT ME AND NO I DID NOT KNOW THE GRADE THE ISSUE WILL BE BETWEEN I AND WHO EVER THE BUYER IS. BESIDES YOU CANT PULL AN AUTION AFTER 12 HOUR LIMIT AND IF IT WAS FRAUD WHAT WOULD IT BE TO YOU.DONT RESPOND >>



    He seems irritated.

    He hit that freakin slab with a torch lighter. Funny how only a small part of it was melted by FIRE and the rest is for the most part OK??? The part that got hit by fire is right in the center of the label???? Bull CRAP!

    The seller has made a mistake, that is all. Maybe he could use a little slack. He has added a question and answer to the eBay item:
    Q: I wanted to bid on this coin, but I can see on the label that the coin is an AU58. Why are you calling it gem BU?

    A: BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THE GRADE AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.IT HAS NOW BEEN EXPLAIN HOW THE GRADE IS IDENTIFIED WITH THE SERIAL NUMBERS I CAN NO LONGER REVISE OR END THE AUCTION THE WINNER OF THE COIN WILL NOT BE LIABLE OR HAVE TO COMMITT TO BUY IT

    I think the seller thought he had something more then he actually had, that is all.

    At least now there is an addendum that specifically mentions the buyer can return the coin if desired. It would be interesting to know the trail this coin / slab took in its damaged state.

    Imagine having a listing where in the last 4 hours numerous complaints about the listing come in and your hit counter goes from 50 to 675?

    The new owner is going to have a difficult task at best, removing that coin from a contorted slab without damaging it.

    Send it in the holder to PCI for a crossover. It'll probably come back MS.image

    I can't tell the grade so I'm selling it as gem bu.

    If only it were that easy! image
