The coin came in excellent condition. The dealer took the time to ship the coin with four layers of protection. I would buy from this dealer in the future.

Found and purchased coins using Edelman's Coin Shoppe on eBay. The following is the review I left on eBay after receiving the coins. Coin arrived in todays mail as expected and was well packaged with personalized invoice listing transaction in details. Nice Touch. Shipping costs are as stated. Coin arrived packaged along with 1 additional coin in auction I had won. Coin is one pictured and described.
All emails from Purchase through delivery were timely, courteous and professional. Seller is like dealing with local TRUSTED coin Shoppe owner. Would use again if price is right and I need a hole filled
