The importance of READING the auction description.

That's lame- I never like it when people put pictures of other coins in the listing - If you can put a picture of a representative coin, then you can put a picture of the actual coin being auctioned........

Why bother even putting up any photo at all?
Estate fresh??? Give me a break.

Yeah... I got somewhat burnt in an auction like that before I started paying attention like I should. An 1899 Philadelphia Morgan, ostensibly from an original roll -- a coin from the alleged roll was showed, not my coin -- and I received a mint state 1899 dollar with the two biggest, ugliest bag digs I've ever seen -- right across the lady's jawbone. Now, I paid MS60 money and got an MS60 coin -- but boy did I ever. It's about as MS60 as a coin can get. Not 60.00000001, just 60.0000000. And I could have sent her back, but I didn't... She's kinda grown on me, but the point remains that eBay is rife with scams.

Its ten minutes before the auction closes, if I were one of these eight bidders, I'd retract my bid immediately !
