ebay auction for 1870-S
You know, PCGS has never graded a MS 1870S half eagle. The finest
known are 6 AU55s.
even if this coin is cleaned, it is probably the best I could ever hope
to afford right now. It reminds me of ANACS slabs that used to sell
on heritage, net graded!, that looked better then PCGS or NGC coins
right next to them over the years.
i could see this coin cracked out and sent to NGC and graded if
the pictures are not hiding anything crazy.
who is hucky and why does he play this game? why not send it
to ANACS? the coin appears to be real after i compared it to several
others from heritage archives.
i like it at 500, but know it will sell for more then i can afford.
what do you folks think of this strange situation on a tough tough
date that has any luster left on it at all.

by a million collectors, but it is a true key in that shape.
i am trying to find out the big problem with it. a rim problem?
turn it a slightly diff way and all of a sudden hair line city?
when i said i like it at 500, that was the gamble type thinking.
red or black.
if it was in ANACS plastic, i would have no problem doubling that,
easily. it looks like from those pics. pleasant.
edited to add: lol and i knew i was not bidding as soon as i mentioned it here. now almost a 1000 ;-)
with cash. i know better though to play this game. i will simply
wait until OCT and the coin show in CT.
once i mentioned it here, i knew it was too late to play and it
was wishful thinking i could ever afford it at less then 1500.
AND have the coin all there. something is wrong. it is too good to be
true. hucky cannot be dumb. if the coin could slab at ngc/pcgs they
would have.
Just a boost because I know them modern coins are starting to
It's off topic and all, but what the heck. It' gold and it's old.
The coin itself looks decent. It's true, something worth $300 might be hidden. What's his return policy?
Who else has had dealings with hucky? I see his stuff from time to time and I am somewhat tempted.
I knew it would happen.
in a turd world slab. no mention of it on the slab, just a net grade.
i have a feeling the same thing is going on here. crack it out,
no return policy.
why would hucky want to leave money on the table? it does not
add up. in a net ANACS slab that coin would do well at heritage.
<< <i>Forget the fifth-world slab! I''ve got a great deal for you on some magic beans!!!!!!! >>
Could you possibly take a trade on those beans? I have a very rare breed of unicorn that is missing its horn!
anything interesting always get bids on ebay.
too bad i will never learn how it ends. shock or surprise!
i really thought that coin was pleasant looking.
The ID rings a bell, anyway. As I recall, he was OK. If he wasn't, I would remember more.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
For the auction, it says right there that it is cleaned but MS details. I know nothing about gold so I can't say if it is AU or MS for details, or whatnot, but he does state it is cleaned.....hence, most likely, that it isn't in PCGS/NGC slabbing. As for ANACS....if he can self-slab, why bother with ANACS? Looks like he did ok anyway.
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
prob ripped the coin off someone for a 1000. sent to anacs and got a net
50 grade or worse for some other problem we do not see.
1050 he has in it so far. now self slab with MS net. instant 1000 bump
when he was probably trying at first for 2000 bump. no return if you bust it out right?
oh yea, that type of person always does ok.. hm :-P
i hope the buyer gets what he hopes.

Who knows? Maybe he bought it raw at auction for $6k and took a beating on it.
lol. good one. they would not be in business long making decisions like that.
something tells me hucky is smarter then that.

Everybody makes mistakes. Even the best and most experienced.
Two guys (with very low feedback histories) ran it a long way up the price ladder.
The coin doesn't look quite as good at $2,700 as it did for $500.
Added: but hey, 7 day return, no questions asked. That's not too bad.
I knew it would happen.
not really. if the coin was raw i would agree with that.
but as soon as you crack it out for a real look, your return policy goes to the crapper.
the slab could be the key to getting rid of this coin. the dealer should know
his fake slab tpg should be worse then raw.
