Just missed a nice Buy it Now rip (Vermont commemorative)

I saw this listing last night, and I thought it looked awfully cheap. I took a couple of minutes to do a quick check of compelted auction prices realized, and someone else swooped in and hit the Buy It Now.

Raw 1927 Vermont commemorative for $139

Even if it winds up an AU it should be worth around $200. I picked up a beat-up XF for my raw set and even that cost me almost $100.

    Your PCI looks better....first one looks cleaned. There's a reason he's selling it raw...image

    Not sure if it was a rip. Who knows what that coin looks like in hand. Probably cleaned. I bet its probably worth what it sold for.

    Im not sure if you could get $200 if it did grade AU. I just sold a very nice, blast white, Vermont in PCGS MS62 on ebay for about $205.00. I personally think it was undergraded too. I think a coin like that would be money better spent.

    This one (in a pcgs64 slab) went for $344. I too, feel it was undergraded. Pic by robertpr.

    I agree that the PCI has more class than the one you just got. I would bet that it would be bb for cleaning or altered surface. By the way I think that you did pretty good for $94.
