    The spots on the reverse appear to be corrosion to me. Just what are these bidders looking at? Do they see something we don't? image

    They burned themselves since they chose to bid.
    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Looking at the bidding, the winner adlrirchinc placed his winning bid early on when the aution price was BELOW $1.11, replacing xp808. Could he have intended to bid $5.7998? I don't get it. The seller does allow for a 5 day no questions asked return policy.
    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    I was the guy that posted this auction several days ago...my theory was that it had to be a problem coin or else it would have been slabbed by now.


    Are we really sure that it has been cleaned...or problems?

    Take a second look and grade the coin:

    I can't tell for sure if the coin has been cleaned or not....not enough expereince. Assuming no problems, which may be a leap, MS64RB - a $450 PCGS price guide value. Guy who bought it overpaid by approx. $130 or 29%. That is the BEST case scenario.

    While I can't tell what the coins problems are, if any, from the photo, I don't think it is a fair statement to say that all non-problem coins have been slabbed and the coins that are outside of plastic are problem coins. I, like many, many others, prefer raw coins to entombed coins. I don't immediately discount a coin's worthiness because of the lack of a paid third party's opinion.

    I here ya...I have no problem with raw coins, in fact I like them.

    I'm not so sure that the coin pictured is a problem coin. What I do know is that finding a problem free raw coin, especially on the Bay, is getting harder and harder to accomplish. Additionaly, if the coin in question was truly a MS66 Red as advertised, it would be worth thousands. It would be in the economic interest of the seller to have the coin graded by PCGS or NGC, as a 66Red, and make 10x's the $580 that it was sold for. It more than likely wasn't graded because it either has problems or would never make a 66Red. As such, the coin sold for what it did, more reflective of a 64RB grade.

    I will totally agree with that!
