Wow! A triple play mistake between Heritage, NGC and Myself!

Okay, so I am kinda taking advantage of 2 mistakes at once here.

Can you find the three mistakes made?

    The auction says it's a 26 plain, the slab says it's a 26 plain, but the coin says it's a 26-D.

    Don't you feel guilty about taking advantage of poor Heritage?

    You go, Michael! Hey,that's the way to be on the ball. Let us know what they send!image
  • DDO?

    she's got lines at the base of her neck and lips.

    what's with the crevace along the top edges?

    and obviously it's a "D"

    << <i>DDO? >>



    Nope, well at least that's not what I was talking about. I have to check that when the coin arrives.

    Thanks

  • the space between I and B is not relative to the other letters in LI BERTY?

    Just goes to show that Heritage doesn't really examine their coins before putting them up for auction,or they would have caught right on to it!

    Here's one obvious mistake: "PAY PAL" - You, sir, are no "pal" of theirs!image
  • Well, Considering they could have put up the wrong reverse pic it could very well be a plain 1926, just like the NGC label says. Wouldn't be the first time they have done that.

    It looks over graded to me, lots of hits.

    Personally i think the opening $105/BIN is too much.

    What are you seeing Mike ?






  • << <i> Here's one obvious mistake: "PAY PAL" >>



    Mark,

    The auction states "Multiple items purchased can be combined to save you on shipping. Please email me before sending payment. We now accept Pay Pal for eBay purchases. Please send funds to: bobmarino@heritagecoin.com."


    To me the PayPal doesn't look like a mistake ? image



  • coinguy1coinguy1 Posts: 13,484 ✭✭✭


    << <i>To me the PayPal doesn't look like a mistake >>

    I understand that they accept "Pay Pal" but I was joking that Michael was no "pal" of theirs - hence my

    Not if it's a 1926-D.

  • so is shipping $7.70 or $8.70?
  • Do you live in California? If so, they charge tax on coins under $1000.00. I'm way off?

    Well. nobody really got it.

    Heritage listed the auction as a 1926 NGC MS64. NGC's label shows a 1926-S NGC MS64, but I doubt it is a San Fran because the strike is much too strong -- the coin is probably a 26-D.

    It looks like Heritage missed the S on the label thought it was a P when NGC really made the mistake and its a Denver Mint coin.

    Either a D or an S is worth at least twice what the BIN price was.

    Now let's see what Heritage sends me. I want the coin shown obviously.

    Hey Feld -- I got your PAL right here buddy! image

    Michael
  • S$1 means Silver One Dollar ...just take a look at other NGC morgan and peace dollar auctions
  • what chuckc said

    still a score if you get the coin pictured


  • << <i>It looks like Heritage missed the S on the label thought it was a P when NGC really made the mistake and its a Denver Mint coin. >>



    Huh ? The S near the $1 means Silver, Doesn't it ???

    If it was an S mint it would look like this

    Not this

    << <i>Hey Mike, Here's where the reverse pic of the one you bought is.

    Looks to me like they simply posted the wrong reverse pictures in the two auctions.

    1926-D Peace Auction >>



    That's a different reverse than the one in Michael's auction.

    Russ, NCNE


  • << <i>That's a different reverse than the one in Michael's auction. >>




    Really? Ya think? That's why i edited it out waaaaay before you deemed it necessary to quote it.

    The obverse is also that of a 26-D. You can tell from the strike characteristics.

    So, Michael, it appears that the seller called it a 1926 (not a 1926-D or a 1926-S), but showed the wrong reverse image, leading you to believe that you might be getting a mint-marked coin. You'll get what they said you would but not what you mistakenly thought you'd get. What will you do when you receive a 1926 (P-mint)?



    Also, it appears that you owe an apology to NGC - YOU were mixed up/mistaken about the 1926 S$1 label - amazing, since you are a Peace dollar fanaticimageimage
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭


    << <i>Really? Ya think? That's why i edited it out waaaaay before you deemed it necessary to quote it. >>



    Actually, you edited it during the whole 1 1/2 minutes it took for the server to post my response. Yeah, that was waaaaay before. image

  • FrattLawFrattLaw Posts: 3,290 ✭✭
    Okay -- the S reference was my mistake -- but I think from the pics its still a 26-D and Andy agrees. The obverse and reverse pics seem to match the same coin as well.

    I still think NGC made a mistake and mislabeled it a P and Heritage listed it as a P. So no apology there. So I still got your PAL right here Mr. Feld!

    I BINed it as a D. I want to see what Heritage does as well.

    By the way, it remains a triple play mistake and I've added myself to the title!

    Michael



  • << <i>Can you find the three mistakes made? >>




    1) The seller listed a picture of a 1926-D reverse when listing a 1926

    2) The seller listed S/H at both $8.70 and $7.80

    3) The buyer thinks he's going to get a 1926-D

    Okay Feld, can you read these letters ---

    Um.....You want to try that again?

    I was the first to point out the "D"
    Then I re-edited to point out that there were too many hits to be that grade

    then 3 replies down I asked:

    I actually met my quota for today. Lawyers are limited to 3 "right" acts per day. It would give the whole profession a bad image if too many of us started acting like decent individuals.

    Now I have to go wipe the egg off my face.

    I wouldn't be too worried Michael, if you get the coin pictured you got it for half price.
  • FrattLawFrattLaw Posts: 3,290 ✭✭


    << <i>I wouldn't be too worried Michael, if you get the coin pictured you got it for half price. >>



    I'm not, actually I think the 26-D in MS64 is actually more than $230. And if they send me the P, then I'll just return it.

    I'll be out shipping, but what the hey!

    Michael
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295
    I don't understand Michael. The final price on the auction was $105. My latest greysheet shows the 26-D in 64 at $220 ask. That sounds like half price to me.

    Classic -- why did you withdrawl your remarks about me? You felt strongly enough to write them in the first place, why retract them?

    Michael

    Here's a good clean lawyer joke. --

    A Pope, a Priest and a lawyer are standing at the Pearly Gates with St. Peter when St. Peter says "Gentlemen, come this way, your accomdations are ready."

    All 4 men walk towards and into a beautiful Hotel. Everything is white and clean, the sky is a bright blue and the temperture is just perfect.

    As the 4 men approach the 1 st door, St. Peter turns and says to the Priest -- "Father, these would be your accomodations" as he opens the door.

    It is a perfect standard hotel room, everything is white and clean. There's a vase on the desk with some flowers in it. Otherwise it could be a regular room at the Holiday Inn.

    The Father turns and thanks St. Peter profusely.

    Only the Pope and the Lawyer remain. St Peter takes them to a set of double doors leading to a Suite.

    St. Peter turns and says "Your Holiness, this Suite will be your new dwelling for all of eternity."

    The Pope turns and kisses the ring upon St. Peter's hand and thanks him.

    St Peter now leads the lawyer to another area of the Hotel. Where he presents the lawyer with his own private Guest House, it has a swimming pool, a beautiful garden, fruit tress, a private patio with a fountain in the middle. Again, it appears too perfect.

    St. Peter turns to the lawyer and says "Sir these will be your accomodations, are they suitable?"

    The lawyer, dumbfounded, says to St. Peter "Certainly this must be a mistake, I am no where near as pious of a man as a Pope and a Priest. They certainly deserve this more than I?"

    St Peter turns and whispers to the lawyer --- "Popes and Priest are a dime a dozen around here, BUT you are our 1ST lawyer!!!"
