This looks good. What am I missing?

Other then the fact that its not graded?

    for this coin it would be the fact that it isn't in a tpg holder.image

    I remember one eBay listing a couple of years ago. Some guy was selling raw SVDBs. He said he was through buying them on eBay and getting ripped off. (cleaned, altered surface,whizzed, questionable color,.....)

    I would be worried that this coin was cleaned.

    He has a jillion feedback replies and 100% positive, which is great!

    And while he guarantees the coin to be genuine, he says nothing about the originality of surfaces and/or their problem-free status. Hmmm...

    With the huge number of examples that exist in reputable third party grading service holders, I would listen to my caution about this particular coin and instead shop for one that is already certified.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Tough to tell the diagnostics of genuine piece from that pic.

    I would not buy a raw vdbs from a stranger unless I was able to view it in hand.


    Have a Great Day!
