"THIS COIN IS IN MY OPINION A MS-65 ++++++ . I HAVENT SEEN A INDIAN IN THIS NICE OF SHAPE ON EBAY FOR A LONG WHILE . SO HERES YOU CHANCE TO OWN A MINT 1906 BROWN RED, LOTS OF LUSTER AND STONG DETAILED INDIAN HEAD."


Impaired vision????

Newkid

At least pick up a copy of the red book.

zzzz

I don't know why your so hard on the seller ... His discription is right on ... just he's looking at a different coin then the one in this auction. He has it pegged right as the condition is circulated. I just think he should look elsewhere for his grades other then the thermometer outside ..

It gets better... here's another thread about the same seller's 1863.

Some of these guys on Ebay must be actual dealers pulling everybody's leg. This stuff can't all be real scams.

lordmarcovan

You obviously haven't been spending much time on the flea market circuit.

And eBay is the mother of all flea markets.

Obviously he isn't looking very hard.

ziggy29

I think he missed a decimal point. He meant to call it 6.5, yes? That, at least, is in the ballpark.

JadeRareCoin

Looks like he changed the listing! Now it says "circulated", although he left in the "brown red".

Here's his response to my email.

Dear oldbeachbum,

You asked:
"BUT HAVE A LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND I THINK YOU'LL AGREE THIS COIN IS MINT!!!!!!!!!! You really are joking. My question. When was the last time you had your eyes checked?"

THANKS FOR THE SARCASM SORRY I'M NOT A PROFFESIONAL GRADDER LIKE YOU SO THE COIN WILL BE REMOVED THAT WAY IT WONT BOTHER YOU ANY MORE

Question about your item



Dear coincollector1989,

You asked:
"Hello I dont beleive this coin to be MS. I come to this conclusion due to there is no luster at all. I have looked at hundreds of IHC and never seen one this weakly struck. I believe your coin is circulated. Just thought I would give you my opinion on the coin."

THANKS FOR THE INPUT AT LEAST YOU WERE MORE CANDID WITH YOUR OPINION THAN SOME OTHER EBAYERS. I REALIZE THAT MY CHOICE OF WORDS WAS INCORRECT SO I HAVE REVISED THE DISCRIPTION. SORRY FOR ANY MISSLEADING INFO. THANKS AGAIN , LILY822

Oh Gosh, I guess I was too rude. I can understand it was a simple mistake, I thought it was GEM Mint State when I first looked at it too.
