I usually don't post Ebay stuff but this one is funny. Where did he get the opening price at?

ss350camaro · October 5, 2004 8:06AM

What 'should' the opening price be ?

<<GREATEST CONTRAST ON ANY COIN IN CAPTIVITY.>>

I didn't know that coins could be "in captivity"......

With words like "Ultra Deep" "Dark and Creamy" and "Golden Mirrors" I am thinking he is describing a porn movie and not a coin.

Reminds me of the movie Goodfellas "funny how?" "do I amuse you?"
but seriously it is hard to get a 1979 Morgan

Ok, that does it. I'm selling mine.

1879 S MS-65 PL, PCGS

ya, but yours isn't the most colorful one in captivity !!

I'll give ya' ten bucks for it since it doesn't stand up to the best

So colorful that even the slab is purplish. Note that the colors in the picture of the label are fine, though. Yeesh. What an amateur. If you're gonna enhance your images and tweak the colors and so on, at least do it well. What a spooky looking result. And this chucklehead obviously thinks it looks better after he played with the pics.

I'll take yours! Give me a price....it looks really PQ.

the coin in question has a value of $275-350. I would pay maybe $400 for a really nice one with a deep DMPL obverse.

Very reasonable restocking fee of 10%, minimum of $700 based on opening bid of $7,000.

We have a winnah!!!

Probably from the same price guide as this one got it's opening price.

Too much for me. For a $9 Franklin, I expect a listing with at least 2 pages of meaningless, rambling drivel.

No returns of slabbed coins! America is a wonderful country!
