Ellsmere Numismatic Auction Titles - Puzzling

I found these auction titles rather--uhmm, errr... not accurate.

1899-O MS66 PCGS -Crisp MS65+ surfaces MS65+ in a MS66 holder. Inside the auction it also says full stirke but it is missing the first several waves of hair over the ear!

1886-P MS65 PCGS -Low mintage and low pop Ok, the mintage is lower than state quarters, but outside 1921PDS, there are only two other Morgan dollars slightly higher. And the pop, 10,858 smokes even the most heavily grade proof state quarters.

I didn't continue through other auctions to see what gems are there. Does anyone from Ellsmere frequent the boards and want to comment? Don't view this as a slam--your auctions will get traffic!
Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!

    Another great sample of a tougher date San Francisco mint Morgan.
    I think someone made a mistake on the 86 and thought it was a S mint.

    The 99-o pcgs graded 66 and ellsmere is saying its a 65. Sounds like they are trying to be honest.
  • I don't know about these guys..... forget about their web site being updated.... it's like 6 months old.....
