    What are you talking about?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Maybe they saw something they didn't like ?

  • After a little research I see you were the seller of this item.

    As long as you and the buyer are happy, more power to you.

    Congrats.

    This may be one of the ones that were originally linked in a thread on this forum. As we all know, if there is a link on this forum to what someone feels is questionable, funny, etc, the "hits" counter goes WAY up.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I hope you don't take this the wrong way but....

    In that auction you show us that you most certainly have not been a numismatist for long, or if you have, you haven't learned how to properly handle coins. No coin should ever be handled like that, even you think it is a junk coin. Coins handled in that manner can develop fingerprints. Get into the habit of only handling your coins by the edges.

    Thanks for the grammer lesson. Two words spelled differently. Not sure what makes you think my meaning was not how I spelled it. image

    If you're going to be critical of someone's spelling, at least you could capitalize and punctuate properly. image

    Amen!
  • Sure makes you want to bid on future auctions, when the seller post on a public BB that he is laughing all the way to the bank.Bad Karma at the least.

    Doesn't it demagnitize the coin? oh, that's eel skin, isn't it? image

    Why are some of you so worried about how he handles a circulated coin? it's not like it hasn't been handled that same way for 100+ years. IT'S CIRCULATED! I certainly wouldn't recommend handling coins like that that are less worn, but give me a break. Kind of like handling a P01. Be sure to wear gloves. You might get a fingerprint on it.

    I guess I don't get the drift of this thread.
    What gives with the "payback time-last laugh", and the laffing to the bank thing?
    The Bust Half is Overton-117 (early die state), a rarity 1 coin. You sold it for a reasonable price.

    Now that's funny!!!image
  • Here are the finals.

    The Final Score:

    Refresh:: For all you Late Larry's that didn't follow My "Rookie" Auction.
    For 7 Days, I was bashed, beatin, trashed, Nailed to a cross, Pounded into the ground, Chewed up and spit out, all because of the way I held this coin.
    The purpose of this link was simply to show that not ALL negative advertising is a bad thing.
    People who viewed my Auctions 858
    Total bids 14
    Final Price $76

    Resulting in:
    The Buyer is very happy paying a fair price for the Coin.
    Didn't give two &^()*&* how I held the Coin.

    The Seller (me) is very Happy with the price I got for the Coin.
    (not a fortune, but that's not the point)

    The point is: The Power of Advertising:
    I will say it just one more time.
    ALL Negative Advertising is NOT always a bad thing.
