Haven't seen him weenie out yet. He has two eBay handles, this one is his company handle. His name is Lloyd and there are quite a few coins in registry sets that came from him.
An impaired proof (Proof-55) for such a coin is of little interest to me. I would buy an impaired proof of a Stella, Gobrecht dollar, and a 56 flyer (two of these three may have really circulated). I would not buy an impaired proof of any other regular proof issue. That said, I am the current high bidder.

I feel the same way. The three examples you mentioned are all rare in ANY condition, but if I were ever in a position to buy proof classic gold, I would want one in all its splendor. An impaired proof wouldn't do it for me.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

If it is Larry (dabigkahuna) then I can say I have done business with him and he is outstanding in terms of fairly representing and fairly pricing his material. Sent it when he said he would. I would buy sight unseen from him any day.

Is the coin really proof?
Is the coin pictured really holdered?
Would a scan of the coin in the holder make you feel better...or could that just as easily be manipulated?
Why the private auction? >>
NGC evidently says it is
The scan shows a NGC holder - if you're not sure about if the coin is actually IN the holder, ask the seller
Probably, but you're right.
You gotta wonder about the private auction deal . . .
if i had the money to win it, i would definitely request several
more pictures.
I would talk to the seller via ebay and get a feel for him, etc...
beautiful coin.
PS: It's keyword spamming, (this seller does it constantly), but the auction is legit.
Will the seller let this go no reserve?
I agree with the keyword spamming. In fact, there's a lot of garbage in the title--so much that I probably would not bother to open the link.

I say less than 2K.
But there's no way I would bid on it.

2000 seems to be the more correct guess by a poster above.
he is a member of these boards
I think he said rareland coins are jointly owned
he feels private auctions allow bidders to bid higher and without spam from wannabe scammers
That is a dubious strategy. I will usually avoid the private auction for fear that the auction is a scam (as in this case).
