    Yea, but he just won a coin that worth $4,000 or $5,000 for $560. Can you equal that? Neither can I. That's one of these reasons why my Ebay experiences have been mixed.

    WOAH! Those are notoriously counterfeited!!!!

    It's a raw coin from a zero-feedback seller.

    Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

    Someone just got seriously taken.

    We ARE watching you.

    Dang I would have taken a chance on a (0) feedback seller from the UK at that price had I seen it.

    (BTW - It was $1,026 USD / $560 pounds)

    Well I guess the buyer's profit won't be as big as I thought it would be. image

    Seriously though the rest of you are right. Outside of the Continential Dollar I can't think of a coin that has had more copies made of it than the Bar Cent, except of course for the 1909-S-VDB. image

    How on earth could a "SILVER BAR CENT" be counterfeit?
