This is a very interesting auction, makes me wonder


This is for a Flying Eagle Cent, looks really nice and shiny too.
Very new seller, but that looks like a couple of experienced ebayer's bidding on it.
Confuses the heck out of me.

    It kinda looks like this one:

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Isn't that sweet. A rookie slimeball con artist stealing images from an experienced slimeball con artist.

    It looks too shiny.

    The original auction link comes from our old friend, "daleearnhardt-will-be-missed." See more on his polished, cleaned, whizzed "estate sale" junk here and here.

    Its the same coin that another ebayer sold in early August...Maybe this is the same person who won the first auction and they have since decided to sell it....and come up with a new ebay handle...and use the original auction pictures...and the same coin values that the original seller used. Could happen.

    Seems to be (a lot) of this going on lately.

    KoinKops to the rescue? Bounce the newby scam artist! NARU for U. Might as well get them out early. Stolen images (and most of the verbiage).

    The "ultra rare" 1857 Flying Eagle cent. image

    I have two of 'em.

    I guess I should tell my boss I quit, sell 'em and buy an island somewhere sipping pina coladas until I kick the bucket...
  • yeah it's a "stunner" anyone would bid on that crap!
