I bought the 1993-P Jefferson that Superior could not deliver

Garneteye · August 27, 2005 11:38AM

On or about 7/20/05 I purchased from Superior the coin at a BIN that was so low that I felt that it must be a mistake. However Superior did come thru and delivered the coin for the total price of $52.50

Just thought I would tell " The rest of the story"

Boring. Next thread, please.

ROBERTB · August 27, 2005 12:03PM

If this is true.............there are going to be some fireworks here. Or am I missing an inside joke?

Garneteye · August 27, 2005 12:17PM

No joke! See my edit with E-bay auction #

BigE · August 27, 2005 12:37PM

How horrible, you ripped beepy's coin!

rb7557 · August 27, 2005 12:40PM

Oh boy!! Get in touch with beepy and you can triple your money. Then he can still take Superior to court!!!

Jeeze, not only did they get hammered by not suppling beepy his coin, they took it in the shorts with that selling price also!!! OMG there's gonna be hell to pay on this one!!!

jamesfsm · August 27, 2005 12:47PM

Are you willing to let "Beepy" have the coin so to speak?

BigE · August 27, 2005 1:07PM

Put it back on E-Bay with a BIN of 600

OK So now I'm starting to think watgch for Superior ebay auctions ..they are overwhelmed. and a deal is to be had! How funny....

ajia · August 27, 2005 1:59PM

Linky to the 1993-P Jefferson PR70!

Pretty good automated software they have......maybe it's dropping off a zero! I'm checking their eBay store!

A 12 year-old nickel for $53? Guess minus the plastic, it's $3?

Garneteye · August 27, 2005 3:26PM

ER - it's a dollar, but still with the "70"

I feel it's worth the price

ER · August 27, 2005 3:28PM

Oy yeah, sorry, it's the commem.

. OK, $53 is oK.

I should have posted this in the other thread, but it was too long.

Something about superior's reply got me thinking

"First we have been implementing new sophisticated software that ties into our
inventory data to offer our products on our website and other auction sites like eBay, Overstock and Amazon."

So, they are listing a single item on their website, three auction venues, and for sale in store. And they
are counting on the software to delete the listing from all other sales locations if it sells at one. That
seems to be asking for more problems. Very complicated. Somebody BIN on ebay and it disappears from the
showcase in the store?

Quick, sell it back to Superior for $300.00 (and how can they possibly refer to themselves as "superior" after this fiasco?).

Beepy must have money- time for him to show some......

dthigpen · August 27, 2005 6:05PM

Tee Hee.

ziggy29 · August 27, 2005 9:04PM

Seems like you have a chance to make a quick $250 here.

NO,NO,NO, $499.99

So, those who claim that if the selling price of Beepy's coin would have been at or over retail Superior would have magically produced the coin are off base. If that were the case, they sure as hell wouldn't have delivered this one at about 1/3 of the selling price in the auction he won. Obviously, it really was an honest mistake.

Obviously, it really was an honest mistake.

For some reason, there are some people who have a difficult time accepting that, even in light of the Wondercoin "testimony" and this "Exhibit B".

BigE · August 28, 2005 3:18AM

Is a stupid mistake and a honest mistake the same thing, or can a mistake be both?---------------BigE

Russ · August 28, 2005 3:20AM

<< Is a stupid mistake and a honest mistake the same thing, or can a mistake be both?-------------- >>

I think this one is both.

BigE · August 28, 2005 3:29AM

I am waiting for the consignor of this 53.00 coin to Superior to chime in and demand the difference between what beepy bid and Garneteye paid-----------------------------------------BigE

SDCollector · August 28, 2005 4:00AM

Can this get any more interesting?

ROBERTB · August 28, 2005 4:11AM

Surely the consignor did not accept $53 as the selling price of this coin. I'd scream foul from the rooftops if I were he/she.

Russ · August 28, 2005 4:52AM

<< Surely the consignor did not accept $53 as the selling price of this coin. >>

Probably not a consignment. Superior does sell a lot of their own coins.

Russ, NCNE

DMWJR · August 28, 2005 5:01AM

All I can say is WOW. What a wild turn of events.

Beepy · August 28, 2005 1:45PM

I can confirm that the cert # of the coin pictured in this thread matches the cert # of the coin I bid on and won. I won my auction on July 27.

Garneteye · August 28, 2005 2:34PM

I can confirm that the coin delivered was the same cert. # (72867675)

RBinTex · August 28, 2005 3:44PM

You guys should make a deal with yourselves & Superior. Question is, would the buyer sell it for $300

Newmismatist · August 28, 2005 6:22PM

Yep - and there goes the legal argument that this was a scam by Superior that they sold the coin for more to someone else to hose Beepy! Maybe they make it up in the volumn when they run these types of scams.

Hmmm maybe Beepy owes Superior an apology AND $100 bucks - but for the sale to someone else, Beepy would have over paid for this rare item by a bit over $100 - So - is the FMV $52.50 or the reserve of $500 that beepy wanted Superior to spend buy that other great rarity. Per Greysheet an original issue 93 Jeff Comm Dollar is bid/ask at $19/$21 - They all look the same, the only discernable difference is that PGCS removes them from the original issue holder and then makes a 6 second decision as to whether the get a MS69 or the coveted MS70 award. As you can't tell the difference (well maybe after that 6 second quick look you'll know the difference, it's just that you won't be able to replicate it if you cover the grades and mix them up) - now I maybe a bit on the cynical side - but if youcover the grade - How will Beepy know which one is the MS70 and which ones are only MS69 and considering the quantity made (266,000) does it matter?

Not an item to threaten people with lawsuits, and certainly not something to actually file a lawsuit over -
