The Coin Is Still Available For Sale.

I am passing. There is no barcode on the slab, I can't get any better pictures from this seller who just registered today and has one post.

 

Anyone else might fare better than I did in getting better information such as references and pictures but someone correct me if I am wrong; doesn't PCGS have barcodes on that era slab and weren't they on the rear and then moved to the front?

I have no References on this forum i am a New member. The photos are scans and i don't know what else to do for you sir.

What makes no sense to me is that the obverse shot of the slab has no prongs, but the reverse image shows the coin in a newer PCGS holder with the edge-view prong style. Something about this post is VERY VERY VERY fishy.

 

All PCGS slabs of the blue-label era should have a bar code on either the front or back. The images you are showing are clearly not the same coin in the obverse and reverse pictures.

 

Would you care to explain that???

I'm pretty confident this is a SCAM. Auction results show that this date/mint mark coin has sold consistently over the past 1-2 years in PCGS MS63 holders for twice what this "new member" is asking. No offense if this is a genuine seller, but given that the pictures don't match one another, and the asking price is way out of market line, my money at this point is going down on SCAM.

 

To the seller: do you have any references of completed successful sales on theis board or eBay completed sales?

 

BUYER BEWARE

Absolutely is and PayPal has confirmed that it was a phishing email address.

 

By the way here is some tracking I did. The following two pictures are from the scammers Reverse and the real Reverse when it was in a NGC MS-63+ Holder. Apparently someone tried to cross to PCGS thinking they would get a bump from MS-63+ to MS-64.

The Original NGC MS-63+ Reverse

 

Exact Same Bird. Of-course the Obverse is for the other slab pictured.

 

The original HA for the NGC Slabbed MS-63+ Located Here

 

And in the NGC Certification Results the coins grade is listed as 'DELETED' so I guess they were notified by the coin owner on the crossover attempt. Bet that doesn't happen often.

Nice work guys!! You saved someone from getting scammed. Hope the forum admin prevents further posting from this user.

I'm such a dope...I didn't even notice the slab photo problems. What I noticed first was the $900 asking price for a $5 Indian...that is WAY too low....it's roughly a $1500 coin, isn't it?

great work all! Didn't see the inconsistency of the prong and non prong holder pics!! Ban this scammer!!

[CyberspaceVoid]

The forum powers-that-be should start a thread showing what to look for in recognizing scams. This could be a nice example ....

 

[agentjim007]

Is this coin still for sale? I'm very interested. I just bought a bridge, this would be my second great deal in one day.

Thanks folks for all the great research. Very educational.

This one is more than likely a scam as well.

 

If I am wrong then I apologize to the new member that registered yesterday, has one post, total, from yesterday, and has a new photobucket account created with only the pictures posted here.

 

I don't know how to go about checking on that note though. Maybe auctions somewhere. Maybe eBay?
