    1K coin in PCGS plastic. Buyer got a great deal.

    I used to have a 1793 half cent that looked just like that, except you could see more of the date. That's a lot of chain showing for $500, but I'd still pass.

    I had one too. Bought it around 1988-89. Slicker than a whistle but real cheap. Junk.

    For $500 I want a coin I can be at least a little proud of. That ain’t one.

    Maybe not 1k....but I agree that if you get it in a genuine slab you could sell for more than $500.

    I think I’d rather have the $500.

    My sentiments exactly.

    labels are sometimes worth a lot of money

    Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    Sorry, I missed it. Some money left on the table there. Collectors like to fill holes in books.

    Yupp doubled his money, without accounting for slabbing costs.

    I'm not convinced it's genuine..

    That's exactly what could be done to Gallery mint or Old Oak mint copy to try to fool bargain hunt collectors...

    Even down to obliterating the profile, date, and the lower reverse where COPY would be, tapping around the edges, fake wear, burying for corrosion, then cleaning to finish the job
