Well that was a waste of a thousand bucks. Fake coin, fake holder.

How can you tell from my pics?
Edit: I'm wrong
Well... There went your tax refund.

I was going to say that doesn't look quite right.
Also no PCGS in the bottom right corner?
Did you have it verified someplace where they have a good machine?

It is a proof. It's just not gold.
Where are the rays? Look at a picture of a real one.
Fake coin, fake slab.

Look at the difference in the design detail.

Well I paid my daughter’s college tuition, room & board (BS to PhD degrees & same for pharmacy school) by mostly buying & selling “stuff” on CL.
Now she’s a licensed pharmacist working for a major retail pharmacy.
I'm sure you did. Easy to sell on Craigslist. You can even sell fakes. 😀
I see it as additional income” tax”that didn’t go to Uncle Sam.
I've bought and sold plenty on CL. That really doesn't have much to do with the fake gold you bought. I always do my research before buying anything off CL also. I would bet this coin only has about .75c of gold plating.

& buy fakes & get robbed, beat up & murder too. Welcome to L.A.
Interestingly he had several more to sell but I had only $1K with me.
And that is why most of us do not buy coins on CL.

price of gold is now near $2200/oz
you should be able to sell that for $2K
You even got rotated dies. Dare ya to send it back to pcgs for the mint error designation
Upon what do you base that? It’s unlikely that the gold content is anywhere near that substantial.

To give credit where credit is due ( transparency) I bought “tons” of junk silver from CU members at 10-12x, and sold them for 18-20x face. I even got 25x to small buyers.
If you need any more tax write offs, let me know
So timing the market? Or ripping people off?
Professional bullion dealers do neither. Both generally end very poorly.
@mikee999 were you a member under a different name in the past? You said you purchased silver at 10 x 12x from CU members, but you’ve been here less than a year. Don’t know of anyone here selling that cheap within the past 10 months.

Ripping long time CU members, impossible. To be honest I would’ve love to .Think back to 2010-2012, what were junk silver selling for 10-12, maybe 13x?
This whole thread seems "off"
Yeah, but look what it’s doing for his post count!

Do tell here or via pm. But I have my suspicions.

Well well we’ll, we had a wanna be 1st time dealer post.
I was jealous so I decided to post a Craigslist post to see what “action” I get.

You win some, and you lose some.
Most, or all of us have.
It’s how it all shakes out in the long run that counts.
It appears you’ve done well overall in your CL endeavors in spite of this setback (tuition).
Best of luck with your future endeavors.

So you are a banned member (perhaps) back under an alt, how long did you hold that ton of junk silver that you bought from CU members back in 2010-2012 before selling it?

I've done hundreds of craiglist deals. Was only mugged five times.

I’ve purchased two cars off Craigslist and both transactions went great. Still have both cars (though I’d love to upgrade one or both). It’s been 11 and 9 years since those purchases. Probably my last Craigslist buys. No sells.
Never looked at coins on there that I can remember. Certainly wouldn’t be buying gold I wasn’t sure of.
Oh so that’s why your face looks like that

I'll gladly sell you a real AGE for $3000 to give you another $1000 write off.

Bought this on CL a few years ago for the princely sum of $60. Sometimes there are deals to be had.
That my friend is the coooooolest. I’ve never come tiniest close to buying that much gold in one shot in all my years buying from CL.
Great job dude!
Was the half eagle part of the deal? If so, you made a great purchase.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Yes, it was. Seller wanted to meet in a public place which was fine by me because I was a bit leery it may be a bait and switch or something worse.
I thought the OP was joking.
Looks like John Goodman in a dress.
Seriously, I got a few regular guys that I have come to trust selling the occasional batch of sports cards or gun.

Probably ALL with the same certificate number.
You didn't happen to buy it at a gas station?
You know what they say about gas station gold...
You lucky dog!
Some guys have been searching for that rare No Rays variety for YEARS!

Long enough for the S&P to go up more than 400%.
If you had read my comments re:paying for my daughter’s college education & pharmacy school plus room & board, you’ll figure it out.
Why would you think an ounce of gold on CL for $1k would ever turn out well?
Come on, man.
Collector, occasional seller
If I was you I'd ask to buy another meet up and demand my money back.

Sell it on FB marketplace, there’s no lack of like-minded folk there.
What makes you think that I cared enough to read the comments you made under your previously banned name that I would "figure it out"?

If that’s the case why take time from your precious day to response to my thread?
