Wow, can't believe something as fantastic as this turned up on ebay. And look at the great story behind its "find'.


Unbelievable!

    Geez, even as ignorant as I am I can see that one's a replica. This seller is right when he says he doesn't know anything about coins. Miss Liberty looks like she just swallowed a gallon of prune juice and is about to float an air biscuit the size of Cleveland.

    lol! and its not even a replica because from 1854 to 1889, the only U.S. official gold $1 coins were "Indian Head Type" which look drastically different from that.

    You wouldn't happen to know who scamcrook is by any chance? It isn't a vigilante board member who is determined to fight the evils of the replica ebay business, is it?

    An interesting bid history. Scamcrook knocked off yawningman, who took over from lunker-head. Looks like good old scamcrook saved these guys from themselves.

    The scary part is that the #2 bidder, yawningman (a guy with feedback rating of 185 and 100% positive), bid $111 for this thing. I gotta get into this business........

    What's the deal. Does this coin match a pattern or something??? Or maybe some kind of fractional gold (which I know nothing about)?

    Well, at least the story is worth something. Ebay should give out creative writing awards for the best story to accompany a hyped coin. They could call it the "aswimmer a/k/a the grandfather's collecdtion award."

    That looks like something a teenager made in a H.S. shop class image.
