    So a GD6 worn out gold coin shouldn't be handled at all?

    Not sure why he cracked it out. Hopefully he didn't mess with it after he cracked it out. Also, he obviously doesn't know how to hold a coin properly.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Ahhhhh.....the slab insert does not match the diameter of the coin. Also, how do you open a slab without any noticeable damage?

    That's not the slab insert. it's an airtight.

    The slab shows damage along the outer rim. These NGC pop open fairly easy without too much damage.

    I've handed coins over to dealers who have thriving businesses and have been doing it for 20+ years. And they palmed it. I'm talking UNC coins.

    Yes they do. (The 2nd one has some surface scratches because I used a razor blade to remove the green bean for reuse on a reholder.)

    If that coin was about $1000 cheaper I'd probably pick it up for my 78-CC collection. I wouldn't mind having a well-circulated $20 in my set.

    On an unrelated note, I noticed the seller is from a town next to my hometown, a fairly small town in "Gold Country", northern California.

    So did I. I'd like to see this sticker after he removed it.

  • I'm surprised he doesn't have a picture of himself biting the coin to prove it's real.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    I thought the ONLY way to market a coin was on eBay image
    The auction is live and it's gotten people's attention, and that's good.
    Any attention is better than no attention.

    I thought that was pretty strong money for a POS twenty.
    I think he did fine......

    It's virtually flawless, Perry. It went back on a '26-S Lincoln (cert# 03936624).

    Not to rehash this (it came up a couple of months ago), but removing and reapplying a green bean can be done in less than a minute with a sharp razor and a little care. Use the razor to lift the edge and pull it up and off with your fingers. It doesn't wrinkle, tear, split, delaminate, etc.

    I am sure he will super glue the slab back together before shipping!! image
