    He guarantees it will grade MS67 or better.

    Here's my guarantee - Uncirculated. At best.

    Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.

    I for one don't think that coin with the hit on the cheek and chatter in the hair will make more than 65 on a very goooood day.

    << <i>Or would could all ask the seller questions. >>



    I don't think that works. This guy or gal, I don't know the seller, thinks he/she can lure a gullible newbie into bidding a bunch for that dollar that is worth a dollar.
    Even with his guarantee witch is only good for fourteen days. Who has got a coin graded in fourteen days lately?

    And to put it simply there is reason that a PCGS MS67 is worth $320.00 they don't make very many, if any, any more.

    And to put it in a nut shell he/she messed up my search. With all the hoopla on the new dollars I was hoping to find some forgotten treasures, IE upgrades for my SBA set that nobody would be bidding on.

    I hate keyword spammers. I try to waster their time by asking potentially real questions about there auctions. It is best when I can have about a 5-6 e-mail exchange@!

    I saw this in my IKE searches and the auction is terribly misleading which could garner the seller a bunch of negs. There is no mention of what type of guarantee is actually being offered either so a bidder should only assume that the coin could be returned if it does not meet the grade expectation. I don't think many newbie buyers will see it that way though and could lose a lot in unnecessary grading fees since his stuff obviously will not meet HIS grading expectations.

    I sent the seller a question with regard to this.

    As far as keyword spamming, I think its a little grey since the seller does state that the coin is NOT in a PCGS holder.

    One more thing, his nonprivate feedback buyers all purchased less than reputable slabs so this seller may just recommend NTC, NNC, or SEGS as a potential grading company. A newb wouldn't know any better and might actually be pleased with their "67".
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    19Lyds it is key word spamming to use "PCGS" in the title of the auction if the item being sold is NOT a PCGS certified item

    Spamming in the title throws the search off as many us seachs like "1980-D PCGS MS" that was my search today.
