its the only coin in this set that looks "AU"

seems a bit fishy to me.

I messaged the guy and asked if the word copy is on the back...we'll see.

    ah ha!

    he's been Neg'd on this very set once before! ........

    But never mind...he has dis-claimered the o9-s and the 1877 in the middle of a full screen of text.

    all i had to do was read the rather long winded ad.

    Yep, it's a copy!

    If you wade through his text description, he states the 1877 and 1909-S are both stamped copy.
    Oh boy...this could be a bad thing.........image

    Royal Oak Mint copy, perhaps?

    unclejohn...tsk tsk
    not real...I would add that the one who gave the neg should have contacted the seller before buying.
    It's called taking responsibility. He must have thought himself to be very clever.

    You are not being very "godly" with auction like this. And don't plea ignorance...

    "Included are two professionally toned Mint State reproductions"

    Wow, that text IS buried in the middle and would be easy to miss.

    In the verbose description: "The 1877 and 1909-S are reproductions."

    How about this:

    "The value on this set if all coins were in good condition would be OVER $1,000.00!"

    He should have said:

    "The value on this set IF all coins were in good condition, were REAL, and had a some rare
    gold coins thrown in would be OVER $100,000.00!!!"

    wow.
