"Silver War Cents"

Even tho he does say steel in small letters down in the auction description it looks to me like the intent was to imply these were Silver.

In the info section it even says Silver

He also says it in great big letters right in the auction title:



<< <i>1943 P, D & S. Steel Wheat Cents. PCGS Mint State 66 >>

Russ,

My point was that it seems to me like he has used "Silver" as a selling point. Yes, Steel is in the title but he inserts "Silver War Cent" in the extra description right below it. Also putting "Silver" in the "Material:" info line.

The bids are above average sell by $18 to $20 and the auction isn't done yet. The same 3 coin set in another auction is at $49.99 opening bid with no bidders.

I just think it's wrong to "falsely advertise" like that.

Is it common to refer to these steel pennies as "Silver War Cent"? I've seen that in other descriptions for these.

Ok, fair enough, but have those other auctions stated that the material was "Silver" ?

I've never heard them called "Silver Pennies" just steel pennies. I think the auction is misleading especially in the material section. That should be changed to "Steel" or else this one will be a "steal" from some misinformed buyer..........

Just to add to the confusion, there were some silver 43 Lincolns struck on dime planchets.

Now you did it!

Don,

I don't know if that's any kind of redemption for me, or just a bigger spankin' ?

Actually by non-collectors I've usually heard them refered to as "Lead pennies".

Only redemption.

Al, I've never heard them referred to as Silver War Cents. Steel Cents, yes, maybe you're thinking Silver War Nickels?

Hey.... I sold the winner of that auction a 21' in a ACG slab.....

ss350camaro

Ok, the auction ended with the 3 coin lot selling for $99+

You can't tell me that the sellers select use of the word "Silver" had nothing to do with the outcome. Especially on MS66 graded coins that generally sell for around $60 a set.

I don't think silver in smaller letters versus the big title of STEEL made the prices go higher.

Great. If this is the level of nitpicking of eBay auctions here I say . There aren't as many bad auctions this week.
