I cringe when I see something like this. It is truly painful and sad, because some new collector wi

"Wonderfully rare numismatic piece"
"Valuable investment"

Comparing it to a PCGS/NGC 1937, which is a BUFFALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the text, if you don't vomit afterwards. Can anyone say Hobby Protection Act!!!
If that obverse is a 70, then I'll start eating by Jeffersons one by one and put the cereal that I am eating now to the side.

    While I certainly agree with your point, the auction does not appear to be doing much damage. The coin is going for $1.25 (presently), which is not a particulalrly expensive lesson for the buyer. I only wish my most expensive lesson cost me $1.25!

    He owns SGS and is hyping up his holder it also looks like he is into insider grading because as anyone can tell its more of a 65 than a 70.

    I know if I sold a nickle in a plastic holder with a piece of paper for $1.25 I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

    The Horrors!

    I can't understand how eBay can allow this obvious fraud upon naive but noble coin collectors.

    Why hasn't anyone but a stop to this auction? It's an outrage!
