Could be a couple of things....
1) Seller may be new to ebay (ie...not have another account) and not know much (how to add photos from external sources to an ebay auction) 2) Seller is cheap and doesn't want to pay a few cents more for each additional pic 3) Seller is cultivating ebay IDs/emails for some reason 4) Seller may work with someone, off ebay, once they have the email alias, and not pay the fees....
I think I will go bid on them just to make sure the ball gets rolling. I have a couple of these out to grading at NGC and I want to see this price go as high as possible in the next few weeks. Looks like his reserve is $35
After reading his descriptions I would say he's not a very experience seller. He's failing to play up the first strike holy grail. That alone would increase the final price.
The worst part is that NGC won't offer a guaranty on the grades for coins inside the semi-rigid holders according to their article:
"Because the coins are graded while still housed within the U.S. Mint Cover and will remain in this packaging, the NGC Coin Grading Guarantee does not apply. The NGC Guarantee applies only to coins in NGC holders. Like other NGC graded coins, the grades for these coins will be reported in the NGC Census, and they will be eligible for the NGC Registry."

it seems it does not matter what the series is but if you get top grades(i.e. MS/PR70), or in this case MS67 or MS68(none yet) it would go for moon money. its all just part of the hype. cheers

I have 15 in the mail being returned from NGC as we speak, just 'cause I liked the grading within the soft plastic sleeve. >>
I also like the grading of the whole cover. My 5 sets still show 'scheduled for grading'. I am not expecting high grades on mine I opened 6 covers and sent in 5. I have 1 on my desk to look at and for show and tell. I probably will sell 1 or 2 and save the others for gifts.

Maybe the seller is afraid of photo thieves??

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Maybe he got his grades online, then immediately listed the auctoin, but didn't yet have them in hand...

<< <i>Am I correct that his cost is roughly 40 bucks a piece? >>
That is about right.
I sent in 5 and my total cost is about $42 each.
I don't expect to recoup my cost I just thought they would be neat slabbed.
Rookie Joe
is that you casscoins bidding one of those covers higher at 61....?
John
Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
<< <i>that auction says "semi-rigid protective sleeve". does that mean laminated? if it is NGC has reached a new low. >>
NGC probably used same plastic material that PMG(NGC currency division) uses, semi rigid plastic sleeve.
"Because the coins are graded while still housed within the U.S. Mint Cover and will remain in this packaging, the NGC Coin Grading Guarantee does not apply. The NGC Guarantee applies only to coins in NGC holders. Like other NGC graded coins, the grades for these coins will be reported in the NGC Census, and they will be eligible for the NGC Registry."

Joe

You may be too late fc. All the modern collectors may have been desensitized by Laura since they are still waiting to buy 1995-W ASEs at melt
This one should go for good money, already at starting bid of $95.00

NGC MS66
it may be that the coins here are pretty good all around. like the 2006 Silver stuff being ~85% MS69-70. that would really help the raw ones sell?????
I have 15 in the mail being returned from NGC as we speak, just 'cause I liked the grading within the soft plastic sleeve.

Ya that was me, I got an extra 20 in my allowance last week...
Did some guys return them? I do not see many on ebay. or did they sell out?
