I will see how far I can play him. Should be fun.

I'd try to get as much information about him as possible and forward it to the proper authorities. He may have already ripped others off.

That same description about the coin being worth a $13,000 bid is the exact same description from another 1893-S auction I saw recently on eBay. It may still be running, I will try to find it and post it.

Rampage

Yep, I was right. The exact same description. See the link below.

A scammer lifted a photo of a 1893-S PCGS 40 that I sold a couple weeks ago. Had a dozen bids or so up to about 6K before ebay removed his listing after numerous complaints.

Even if the coin exists, I don't think I need to tell anyone about 93-S Morgans in SEGS holders.

This guy is violating eBay's policy. Some sellers set up new accounts to contact other eBay'ers and make deals outside of eBay. When you get done playing with him, report him.

"MY COMPANY IS LOCATED IN NEVADA, AND WILLING TO SELL IT TODAY"

Maybe someone should tell anitacoin in New York that a scammer in Nevada is attempting a scam using his coin.

Hey Jason, why not put up the scammers Email so we all can respond?

Jim

Now why didn't I just edit this message into my other post? THINK JIM, THINK!!!

Anitacoin is a scammer himself. Buys coins and relists them in overgraded, bottom-feeder slabs.

hopefully they will send me the photo of the one linked in this thread. I wish they would respond before I go out to dinner for my 7th wedding anniversary.

I realize he's a scammer, but how could he gave such great feedback if he is? I don't understand..

That email reminds me a bit of this thread...unsolicited offers of Morgans...

For GoldCoinLover...it may not be Anitacoin who originated the email, but yet another person just lifting his item description out of sheer laziness (why do we keep saying him...Anita sounds like a her)
