    Because he sells to idiots!

    What collector would bid on such a piece of cr*p?
    Only those that don't know better.

    I'll give him this much, his images are sharp & you KNOW what you're getting.
    The sellers that really piss me off are the ones with blurry images.image

    it's a decent image, the auction starts at five bucks, shipping is two bucks, and there's a return privilege.

    Sure, the seller exagerrates the detail a little, and what he calls "some corrosion" we'd call "a lot"

    but overall, I've seen much much worse deals than this.

    That's one ugly coin.... and overgrading gone wild isn't as much fun as girls gone wild...... image
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
  • Choice BU detail = Choice ButtUgly detail.
  • This particular auction presents absolutely no threat to anyone's pocket book. Baley is absolutely right.

    I agree, it isn't fraudulent, but the flagrant overgrading was just too funny.

    It isn't overgraded. Well it is some, as I would say it has AU details. But it is accurately described. If it wasn't for his $3.50 required insurance it would even be orth a few more bids.

    An absolutely ugly coin in an ugly condition, what more could you want? Seriously, the guy has decent images up. No one is going to get taken here unless they know nothing about coins.
