    1. It had a return policy
    2. $52
    3. I tweaked the sellers pictures in PhotoShop and thought it might have some color

    And I felt lucky. image

    The sellers pic was useless. I think it looks very nice, good score.

    Very nice.

    I assume that NGC PF 67 was in the auction. How willing would you have been to bid if it was not in an NGC PF 67 holder based on the sellers pics?

    The sellers pics were actually very helpful in allowing UtahCoin to get a good deal! image

    How could anyone blame him for trying for more of this Variety. After the thread I saw of his(buy/sell) I`d be doing the same thing

    If it had been raw, I might have gone $25.
