That's just his MO. Not the first time and unlikely to be the last.

To be fair, he does provide advance warning on his personal world wide web page, https://www.burtonstrauss.us/

I love to chat about coins and also sometimes dish a little snark

I wait for Cougar's evaluation and then double it.

Now we know where they all went this morning:

SG will not be dependent on planchet thickness or localized changes in alloy, be it to the surface metal or deeper submerged level - rather it will give an average for the whole coin or item to be measured.

Yes, except the core is not the same alloy as the surface. So it matters, if you will, whether the Oreo is single stuff or double stuff. How are the layers assembled? Are they rolled after they are assembled or rolled as they are assembled? It is possible that an extra thick planchet does not have the same ratio of core to surface. It's also possible that it does. Does anyone know?

Perhaps you have not followed what I was saying. Who cares the relative thickness of the layers. SH will give an average of the whole planchet.
If it reads out as 40% average then it is as expected. If it comes out 60 or 80% it points to an obviously higher silver alloy content and therefore significant.
Who is going to pony up for a coin with 42.5% alloy?

Might be difficult for Ebay supporters to defend this action.

I love FleaBay! I don't know of a better place to find discount cat food coupons.

Caveat emptor -- buyer beware. Too many dimwits with too much money.

Ebay is there to make money for its owners. If you don't like Ebay then don't use it -- Quit complaining.

Do they know who they’re messing with?
