    That's the coin on eBay -- I can't imagine that 31 bidders think it's a reproduction at $2550.

    One has to ask themself, why isn't this "Mega rare ultra key date!!11!!!!" coin in a slab?
  • Sphinx357Sphinx357 Posts: 1,279
    Wow it seems dale earnhart is selling all the keydates, what a coincidence.
  • bentasm1bentasm1 Posts: 65
    The suspicion on this is what caused me to post it. He has a *ton* of coins worth a ton in the useless book value, but none of them are slabbed. Then again, good feedback. Makes me wonder?

    I think he needs to settle down with the SOS pads as well.

    That's the same exact coin too. Same marks everywhere. Now I'm a bit more baffled. image

    That's a Dale-will-be-missed coin.

    Dale's fan quotes PCGS prices and shows his raw pictures small and dark saying it's worth thousands of dollars.

    And people pay big money for them. Everybody's happy imageimage

    The eagle on the copy coin looks terrible.

    they're a couple of diffrences between the two coins such as the rim dent on the obverse of the first coin and the diffrences in size of the "lump" in AMERICA
  • PlacidPlacid Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭
    The coin in the eBay picture looks to have prooflike fields. Thats the first thing that makes me think its a fake-reproduction.

    He has negatives from 25 different bidders, and I'd bet five times that wanted to neg him but were afraid of retaliation. This seller is notorious for selling cleaned, polished, problem junk and claiming it's good material.

    "I do guarentee it is 100% Genuine"
    *bids thousands of dollars on raw coin*
  • PlacidPlacid Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭
    If that coin is genuine it would probably grade as the finest known and be worth one heck of alot.
    No way is someone going to put a coin with that pontential on eBay starting at 99¢.
  • MICHAELDIXONMICHAELDIXON Posts: 6,564 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I guarantee it 100% BUT!!!!! "no returns will be offered or accepted." I would be afraid to buy anything due to his feedback and no return policy. His pictures aren't clear and people deceive themselves thinking they are getting a bargain.

    my thought is,if ya was broke,called,say Heritage.
    would they not pay all the grading fees for you,assuming you commited the coins to an auction ?

    Now that is what I call an iron clad guarantee. image

    You can tell when something is wrong when an "ULTRA RARE 1796 BUST DOLLAR...MINTSTATE AT $75,000.00!!" starts at 1¢ and sells for less that 5% of its "value".

    If you look at the reverse at the bottom, looks like the bottom part has been shadowed purposely. Or it sorta looks like someone scratched a rectangle on it .... to hide the word COPY perhaps?
  • Sphinx357Sphinx357 Posts: 1,279
    Oh my, I can see COPY clear as day now that you pointed that out... lol

    Look at the clouds. On the genuine they fade into the fields along the lower edges and the texturing of the cloud the eagle is standing on is gentle and subdued. On the ebay coin the edges all the way around the cloud are sharp and distinct, and the texturing on the cloud is abrupt and bold.
  • PlacidPlacid Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭
    Here is the best I could get using photoshop. It does look like a faint Y can still be seen.
    Maybe someone should warn the winner? I would but I don't want to risk my eBay account for interfering with a auction.

    If you look at the bid history about 16 of the 32 bids were placed by four people.

    I also sent the winner a message.
  • poorguypoorguy Posts: 4,317 ✭
    Check out this link to some of this guy's negs. I was looking through his feedback.

    Damn. This guy sucks

    Look what he says about finally getting a positive feedback. Nothing like that good feeling of just screwing someone real good.

    Fast shipping, great emails, a real credit to ebay, would definitely buy again!
    Reply by daleearnhardt-XX-XXX: GOOD LORD...I GOT A POSITIVE FEEDBACK!! I am the man again!! Thank you!!

    Has anyone contacted eBay about this seller?

    A genuine coin would speak for itself, instead of needing heaping piles of steaming hyperbole to describe it.

    Don't think it's a Gallery Mint copy...those actually seem to be better quality. Maybe it's one of those fakes flooding in from China?

    Question: Let's say you give this guy a negative, (But you don't buy a coin from him) can you neg him, even though you didn't buy from him?

    By the way, you can spot counterfeits alot easier, if you know what to look for. In this case the coin is to shiny, and the lettering is not sharp. On most countefeits, the details are not as sharp as a geniune coin.
  • PlacidPlacid Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭
    No you can only give feedback for a transaction you are part of.

    She swears(swore) they weren't, but you can't trust her. When she was a teenager (16?) I think, she swore to be abstinent until marriage, then later she slept with Justin Timberlake.

    You'd think if someone knew enough about coins (especially to know how rare that coin was), they could know it was counterfeit.
