Default Uncertified '77 Indian on ebay

The seller describes "AU details", which usually means the coin has been
cleaned, but he doesn't mention any cleaning in the pictures:

Is a lie of omission still a lie?

Wow, if you check his other auctions he has all the key coins raw and
going cheap. The best looking one is the 22 plain cent and the CC
Morgans are good looking too. I may have to mortgage the house and
jump on these.

Well, I gotta admit that his coins look authentic and reasonably
accurately graded to me. It's a shame about the rim bumps on the 1877,
though.

I didn't look at all his aquctions, but if the coins are cleaned they
aren't harshly cleaned.

He's getting great action on those auctions as well.

I've been watching this guys auctions for quite some time now. He always has
good photos and I usually agree with his grade. I'm hoping the 1914D doesn't
get too high. ;o)

In this, the "era of the slab", I have to wonder why he hasn't certified
his coins -- most key dates than CAN be slabbed HAVE been slabbed.

I'm suspicious of this guy's auctions. Something doesn't smell right.

Oh, come on, John. It's time for a new beginning with the passing away of
the old and the ushering in of the new! Dig deep, and let 'er rip!

The coin looks good to my untrained eye except for the minor nicks.
Suspicion arises with the $18 p/h. With a coin of this quality and real
value, why does he want $18 for shipping one penny? Thats a red light in
itself and a little fishy.

My stupid opinion, Jim

Ok, I understand about the p/h WITH insurance. But for a coin of this
value, why isn't slabbed?

Why does the T in LIBERTY look glued on?

I see an irregularity there, too, but the scan is not good enough to tell
exactly what the problem is.
