    Three people are making 3 or more bids. I do it sometimes I think I would pay 200 for that then I bid and get a reserve not met so I think about it some and decide to bid a little more and get reserve not meet again.

    That auction makes me sick. The coin is probably a $25 coin raw. I just can't believe accugrade hasn't been shut down.

    The reason why there is so much activity is people don't know any better and think they are going to get a bargain since the coin is "certified." It's always amazed me how people can spend so much money on coins without doing a little investigation. Then when they go to sell it they are going to feel victimized. The truth is they are victims system but they are also resposible for not knowing what they are buying.

    WHY?
    Because a newbie wanted a ms-62 in a ACG 65 holder very very bad. See the staple scratch, dig or whatever it is on the cheek? Even though the rest of the coin looks nice that deep dig will make it a 62.

    You know, when I sell coins on eBay I always describe them honestly and as if I were buying them instead of being the seller.
    You know, I think I may be a dumba$$.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Clearly not MS-65 with that obvious mark on the cheek.
