what do you think ?

Hello,

I have found it on ebay, what do you think about this cob. Is it real or fake, and the price is correct or not ?

If you can find the authentication number from Mel Fisher you can find out if it is real or not, It looks like some one is in a huge bind to be selling it that cheap.

The Zero feed back would make me worry alittle about it.

If the seller is telling the truth, they way overpaid when they purchased the coin.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending who you are) in these tough economic times, people are selling off personal possessions at deep discounts.

It seems a little sketchy. 29k to buy a 1712 8 E is way out of the range. The sell price they have for it is about 50% to 60% of the price range currently, and that doesn't include the gold in the bezel. There is a huge disparity in the prices. And though they bought it for a lot, it seems like they know it would be a very good deal at the price they have set.

I've seen them with more proof of providence and a better look in the 5k to 6k range before. The 0 feedback seems like kind of a joke. I wouldn't bite at this myself.

Another clue is in the return policy the seller posted: "no returns accepted"
