    So what are the odds that the thaler is no more real than the butterflies?

    I just wish the pictures were larger so we could tell.

    I've seen a few of those make it past NCS graders and got encapsulated in their problem holders as "altered surfaces", "mount removed", "improperly cleaned", etc. A collector I've visited in the States this year buys from China and does just that with frightening success rate of getting them NCS-slabbed.

    The rims look funny to me.

    Auction reads:

    Ships to: Worldwide
    Item location: China, China

    All feedback is listed as "Private." (red flag) No details of items sold available (red flag). No prices available (red flag). 99.4% positive (not bad). Several buyers have only 2-5 feedback scores (possible shills).

    I personally would keep a mile away from the seller unless someone I knew, or someone of good reputation, gave me a good recommendation for the seller.

    Just my 2C,

    Bob
