I guess I'll make the $hi7 list now? I don't know Sarah coins or the people involved, but just from reading the auctions I can see he plays fast and loose. Someone slabbing and grading a new US $1 coin and asking a premium is silly.

What the heck is an AU58 chip? Is that the same as like new?

Chosing the first edition of a book, because the price is highest, is outright weasle world. Sahara coins uses the highest "book" from any source, and uses that as the value, instead of someone with integrity who would use the best evidence value, or a current, up to date, TCR value.

I don't understand why deception is necessary to sell slabbed casino chips. Most coin dealers I know work very hard to retain their credibility and make a profit honestly through good buying and smart selling. I just don't see this with the slabbed chip auctions from this dealer?
