[SOLD] 2006-W $50 American Buffalo 1oz 0.9999 Fine Gold Coin PCGS PR70 DCAM

[Zepher]

Up for sale is a PCGS Graded 2006-W American Buffalo 1oz Gold Coin. It has been graded at PR70 DCAM. The registration number for this coin is 9990.70/13824159, the bold part being the number you check at www.pcgs.com/cert. The coin has some unfortunate oxidisation on it due to something occuring during the manufacturing process, I've tried to demonstrate this in the pictures. This will come with the original box and high quality coin holder - not that it's needed but no point in me keeping the box. I'm looking to sell this for BTC or trade for physical crypto coins. PCGS values this coin at $2400. I'm looking for BTC2.7 2.55 including International Shipping. Serious offers will be considered. Escrow is a must, I'm not well known around here, and none of us would like to be scammed. Escrow will be a mutually agreed person that is known by the community and trusted. Buyer pays escrow fees/tip. If anyone thinks I've left anything out please let me know

Edit: This is located in the UK.

Due to the issues with this coin, it has been de-slabbed and sold in box to a local coin dealer for £1100 with Gold Spot @ £1050. It was becoming clear that this was difficult to sell in the holder, the coin is effectively ruined for numismatists and collectors, including myself.

I'm perplexed by toning on .9999 gold...

To be fair, I am too, this has happened over several years, do you know what causes this? This coin isn't fake.

There's very few explanations... Most likely something got onto and dried on the surface of the coin during minting process... Lubricant or some other liquid present in the press.  Then oxidized over time. Can't think of anything else...

Yep that would appear to be the case. Price has been adjusted as a result.

Have had some interest via PM but nothing agreed yet.
