    It appears that assessment is rather generous.

    For those seeking the truth, the above pictured coin is listed in a third world slab called NGS (numismatic grading service). There is less than a half hour left and this coin is bid over thirty bucks on ebay.

    Let's be fair and grade the coin now image.

    <---------- Methinks that NGS has adopted the 100 grading scale unilaterally. Ergo MS-65 is a fair and accurate grade IMO! image

    Obviously buying the holder - rather than the coin - and with seven bidders who know absolutely nothing about what they are buying - deserve what they buy.

    The seller should be - and from what Brandon mentioned has been - reported. The auction should be pulled along with private messages sent to all the buyers telling them why the auction was cancelled. These bidders would be better off paying the $30 plus - where this coin is at now - for a new grading book.

    LOL... too funny... If it wasn't such blatant misrepresentation of actual condition and grade, it'd be a lot funnier, though.

    Haven't you ever seen a very fine clean MS65?

    Wow! NGS (huh?) missed that one by a mile..well, by two and a half dozen points or so anyway.

    Nice find! <Grin>

    If you ask me, NGS undergraded the coins. Seller should have submitted them to SGS .. guarantee MS70 grade for both.
