Now I'm just naturally a suspicious type, but I suspect he has a reason (other than the usual to avoid damaging the coin)... perhaps his fingerprints might be on file in APHIS and his picture up in the post office?

In looking at his other auctions, here's an odd one... An 1889-CC (raw) that he sold in a 1-day auction. I don't understand why anyone would choose to have a 1-day auction unless it's a fake coin and they want the auction completed before anyone notices and reports it. It seems common sense you'd want to give bidders more time to find your auction and bid. So, is this a real or fake 1889-CC?

A seller not offering returns means nothing on Ebay. Filing a return request for "item not as described" or "damaged" can cover about anything and is required by Ebay at the seller's dime. I generally don't find "no returns" to be an issue or even relevant.
I have a coworker who sells stuff on Ebay and uses the option to not offer returns. I tell him that it creates more headache than it's worth. If you don't offer returns and the buyer does want to return it, it forces the buyer to claim a "item not as described" or "damaged" on his dime whereas offering returns would get some of the problem customers to pay their own shipping to return.

Went there once, ate two fish sandwiches. When I got back, just outside the club office, I threw it all up. Luckily, it was wintertime and there was snow to cover it up. To this day I get a chuckle imagining who might of stepped in it, coming and going from the office.

It appears genuine but I wouldn't buy it. If slabbed problem-free it could have doubled the $600 take.

Not sure about that particular coin, but I have ONE DAY listings often as "Exclusively" on ebay. Check it out and call me a spammer

What's the advantage of having a 1-day auction vs. a 1-week auction?
Perhaps the seller is a proctologist and is multitasking by listing coins for sale while giving exams.

As you may know, there are a lot of unsavory people in the coin biz.

I never eat peanut butter when I look at my coins.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
