That's one sweet looking coin, 2 million is too much money though for someone like me or most likely anyone on these forums. I think it's just to get the word out about this monster coin.

I suspect they'll take less -- maybe considerably less -- than $2 million in reality, and they want to "bring the price down" after it doesn't sell on eBay to make something think they're getting a (seven-figure) bargain.

Zero feedback bidder hoping someone sends them $2 million before they vanish

This is a very well known and respected seller offering this as, they say, a "test case". It's not a scam in that if someone bids a credible $2 million, I'm sure they'll get the coin. I just don't think they expect it to get $2 mil -- especially not on eBay -- and will use this as almost free advertising for the coin (remember that with the new eBay fee structure, it doesn't cost much to list anything; it's the FVF that kills you, and no sale, no FVF).

There are actually several people on these forums who could buy that coin.

How did that coin get graded 69? Is it just me, or do the surfaces like like hell?

Do they take Paypal?

There is an article on the front page of the Sept. 20th Coin World about this coin,it will be the most expensive coin to be auctioned exclusively on ebay.{no kidding}!

Yes there is publicity for them. However, it gives the rest of us a chance to see it before it is put into a private collection

Same seller who has the "first dollar". This is supposedly the first Kellogg dollar. And this coin has the same amount of proof for that claim as that 1794 dollar - none.

Its not an auction, not with that reserve. That looks like a 67 at best.

TTT one time for more votes/comments.

Would you buy a 2 million dollar coin from a zero feedback seller?? I'm reporting this one myself.

I certainly would buy from this zero feedback seller if he had a coin I wanted at a price I thought fair. The seller is a well known, respected and highly reputable high-end dealer making its first foray into eBay with this listing.

Your knee-jerk reaction to zero feedback, without considering anything else, has just resulted in the anti-fraud folks getting a report that takes up some of their valuable time without advancing the cause of cleaning up the venue. I make several reports a day, but only of auctions where I can provide conclusive information that a fraud is being attempted, such as mis-matched obverse/reverse pictures, impossible dates, or grossly incorrect weight/size.

I'm sure no one is gonna send the money in the mail. The winner ,if any, would arrange a meeting and bring an authenticator as well as request an ownership trail.

But your own poll included "great big scam" as one of the possibilities. It might have been better to leave that one out since you already knew the seller was legit.

it's a moronic price for a moronic coin in a moronic auction.

.... therefore, it will garner plenty of publicity.
