Drinking And Driving Is Against The Law - Drinking And Writing Auction Discriptions Should Be - Do Y

Somebody help please. I still have not learned how to do the old linkerino. You've got to see this for yourself. It is Yahoo auction 84699010, an 1883 Proof IHC. By the time this guy gets to the last couple of lines in his listing he has to be stoned out of his mind. I don't see this guy getting 35 big ones anytime soon. The great thing is, another bottle of whatever he's drinking will only be in the teens. Here's looking at you, kid. image

    Drinking and driving is not against the law here. Having too much alcohol in your system while you drive is though.

    I have to sell as is, because of it's value and the chance it could be damaged by accident by the buer. I cannot trust it out like that with a return policy. But you certainly will not be haappy with this. This will be the center of your collection. Your Indian head collection at least--no doubt! Thanks for looking.image
  • This is why I don't go to Yahoo auctions.People on it seem to know less about coins than on sleezebay.

    Did you notice this quote from the description?

    "But you certainly will not be haappy with this."

    Is that a disclaimer? image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    This quote is actually telling the truth. "But you certainly will not be haappy with this"

    Nice catch dbldie! You are absolutely correct. Only driving after drinking TOO MUCH is against the law. The law doesn't seem to work, and probably won't work until the subjective aspect is removed.

    No he doesn't say it is a DDO, he says all the letters are doubled. I have an 1885 proof cent with all the letters doubled as well, Longacre doubling. His probably is the same.

    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
  • Proof 3¢ nickels have a kind of shadow image of the letters and date because of the double striking. Do you suppose that is what he is seeing?
    The strangest things seem suddenly routine.
