I think there are just too many red flags.

I realy would love to gamble on this one, but there are too many red flags. Poor feedback rating, short return period, refund for murchandise only, no paypal, etc. Damn, it looks like a great coin, though. Im going to keep telling my self its probably cleaned. Take a look.

    While it has color you can't tell much about the coin... ie. cleaning etc. Poor feed back... to me its a pass.

    I'd bite if I were in the market for one. Go ahead.

    This is a relatively common look for a CA commem, so I would strongly recommend you pass on such a restrictive auction.

    Cleaned...at least in the center of both sides. Doesn't look right. The rest of the "sales pitch" is not a confidence builder either.

    Someone took a chance at just over $200. Looked like a nice piece but refund as credit and no PayPal makes it uncomfortable.

    No way - hose A..... skip it... go to a coin show and look at them, pick one you like and can afford.. Cheers, RickO

    And you can quite possibly buy one for cheaper than $200 at a coin show.

    How does such a coin go for $200+ on an eBay auction? I'd love to meet some of these bidders and offer to sell them my coins.

    A DESCRIPTION TYPED IN ALL CAPS, WHILE NOT A RED FLAG, IS USUALLY A TURNOFF FOR ME, AS WELL.
