Sword Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 "No returns accepted" and not posting by special delivery. One should be deeply concerned by anyone selling an expensive and rare item under these terms! Quote

ozjohn Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224490919818?hash=item3444b3978a:g:QOoAAOSwYjReLcLD Saw this one on ebay.uk a PCGS slabbed coin graded AU-55. Also included a screen shot of the PCGS photo. I think this coin is badly over graded and think F-15 would be a more accurate grading as there is considerable wear on the obverse that cannot be putdown to a light strike. The reverse although appears to be less worn is not anywhere near to AU grades. Again I do not thing these professional graders are producing a constant product. I know you should buy the coin not the assigned grade but new collectors can be badly miss lead by this sort of miss grading. A PCGS AU-55 grading example is included for comparison.

Diaconis Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Yes, overgraded. Fred the flour grader would have got closer. 2 Quote

I'd struggle to give that obverse even VF, though the reverse - as so often for this series - is a grade or so higher. Quote
