No gamble, just a loss. I used to do the Sacs and I have gone through many, many thousands and the chance that Sac is a 68 is worst than odds on the lotto.
The seller knows that it may be worth alot. However, he/she wont take the time to learn enough about it to have it graded. Either the seller knows it's not the real deal or they are just hoping to make a big score. My opinion. Mercury
The obverse die marker doesn't show up that great in the auction, but I think it was enough to convince the winning bidder of a legitimate piece without seeing the reverse. I hope they show it off here.

Lustig predicted some time ago that coins in the original packaging will become more valuable than certified coins.
But I never expected this - could e***e be Eagle Eye??

I'm with Nic - PM me if you want mine at that price - I'll undercut him by $100.

<< <i>I agree as well. Whomever bought it, unless he/she has money to burn, will never recover that cost. >>
Maybe they are a true collector and aren't looking to recover the cost. Others who are the investor types only see coins as a commodity. That is simple enough to read throughout the ages, and pages here.

<< <i>didnt some 'regular' Sacs get packaged this way? $15k (opening bid) is an expensive gamble >>
They sure did. You need to see the reverse for the tail or it's only worth $1 or 2.
and even the price guide lists a MS68 as $15k, so there is another gamble. very agressive opening bid.
<< <i>there is a die marker on the obverse, too.

Really? Where?

<< <i>This thread has the diagnostics to tell if it is a pattern from the obverse alone.
One pic does is not a diagnostic. Especially when the poster is not 100% sure their self.
However, he/she wont take the time to learn enough about it to have it graded.
Either the seller knows it's not the real deal or they are just hoping to make a big score.
My opinion.

Think it could be the one that sold last year for $5,700? Any body ever hear who won that one, or what happened to it?

That guy really needs to get it graded.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

It may be, but there are still less than 100 known. I think new cars are overpriced and have never purchased one to date.
