    1888, not 1988

    1D=One Dollar

    It's a third world slabber.

    I wouldn't trade unless my riding lawn mower was only worth $10


    If you can not tell how good the coin is and whether it is cleaned, you have no business thinking about this coin/trade

    Don't trade a riding lawn mover for it. My guess is that coin isn't work more than $25. Probably a AU coin.

    yeah, thats a pretty crappy labeling job... You could buy a better labeler anywhere on the internet.

    If it's their mower and your Dollar, go for it.
    If it's their Dollar and your mower, tell em you need to keep the mower.

    I hate to say this but whoever ends up giving up a lawn mower to get this coin will have had their grass handed to them.








    Actually ... I kinda liked saying that. image

    Notice the 21 digit serial number. I guess they want to give the impression that they have slabbed a lot of coins.image

    Hey! Me thinks they spelled ANACS wrong.
    And what's with all the ones?

    I can only assume the "1D" means "one dollar" and I'd stay away from that TPG.

    Consider the coin as raw and then make your decision.

    You know, you can find a free bar code generator on the web pretty easily. I love the lower case Ls...

    This is a basement slabber. Made up company, chinese slabs and a nice label printer. That coin is no more an MS66 than I am Eleanor Roosevelt. Run away from this one....

    Yikes. Run away. Don't trade unless your push mower needs a new engine.

    I do this with all slabbed coins. Doesn't every sophisticated collector?

    "Buy the coin and not the slab" is the cliche that we all hear and some of us actually follow.

    If you are buying coins from images, you can gain some comfort in accuracy from PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. All others you really should treat as if they were raw and optimistically graded.

    With high-end MS coins, PCGS is the most accurate and most consistent. However, you still need to buy the coin rather than the holder.
