1909-o $5 Gold.....WOW

The pictures of the coin seem to show a nice high grade AU coin worth in the $4500+ range:

1909-o $5 Gold NNC MS-61 eBay

$760??????? It seems obvious there is something majorly wrong here. Granted NNC aka centsles aka Robert Johnson and the grading standards are a joke, but still $760?.....My guess is the seller doesn't really have the coin and is using old pics from centsles. Desperate times call for desperate crimes.

    I didn't know that the Lebanon Mint was China. You learn something new every day. image


    At any rate, fuzzy pictures + questionable looking coin + "Uncle Elmer" gradin' service= NO INTEREST
