    $12 would be too cheap.

    Not by much... I think $20 would still be more than a bit steep. Maybe $20 is what they intended.

    If his/her intention was to draw people in to look at his auction by posting a ridiculous price on a low grade coin, it worked!!!!!!

    Do they get revenue by number of views? :grin:

    Maybe they meant to ask 25 hundredths instead of 25 hundred...

    edited to add. It's a Denver mint.

    I love it when the TV coin sellers show these crazy asking prices to justify the relative "bargains" they are offering. Too funny.

    Crazy prices on ebay.... I have an entire roll of bat quarters, S mint, I have not even opened. At those prices, I would sell the entire roll. Cheers, RickO

    The OP must not spend much time on eBay - there are literally thousands of overpriced coins - including recently a 1975 cent with no mint mark - only 5 grand ... must be super rare

    Ricko sell something :o Nah, ain't going to happen ;)

    A roll of those just sold on ebay yesterday for $132, which is a great price compared to the normal $180-$260 they have been selling for. I'm still waiting for them to drop down below issue price :D

    I may have to reassess valuation of some Barber halves I have in my 90% box...nah...Ridiculous pricing goes with the turf on ebay anymore. I regularly see Barber material that should be $two or $three figures with asking prices in the $thousands. Ebay sellers looking for buyers who just fell off the turnip truck?

    No, just happened that I was looking at low-end 1900 s Barber halves, and this one caught my eye... :smile:

    What really gripes my goat is how many Barber listings say e..g. "VG", and there are literally NO letters in liberty visible on the obverse. :s

    Edited to say: Yeah, I know, it's one of a million issues on eBay, but it's my pet peeve... :smile:
