    You would think that if somebody would spring $150K for the coin, the seller would throw in s/h/i ! Nope, it'll be an extra $17 and change!

    I used eBay ask seller a question to ask
    "If I buy this extremely rare and valuable coin will you ship for free?"

    He replied
    "First I need to know if you are serious about this or not.If you are then sure."

    I wish I knew more tricks for messing with people, I haven't read up enough on 419eater.com yet, though it's not quite the same. Maybe I'll reply back and offer to buy, send Western Union, email him pics of my (fake) receipt and get him to spend time going there asking for money. Anyone have a better idea? or should I just let this moron be?

    It would take a REALLY crappy scanner to produce images that bad. Any bloke with a cheap digital camera can photo coins that badly though.

    Sent to seller:

    Sir:
    I’ve currently amassed a very High End Lincoln collection. Over the years I’ve heard rumors of a “White” Lincoln cent. Please don’t be playing with me. This is the Holey Grail of Lincoln cent collecting. What luck for me I see you live in North Las Vegas? I live in Summerlin Lets meet at the Nevada State Bank of your choice and upon verification you will be walking out with your $150,000. I am just elated that such good luck has befallen me. Please let me know where we can meet. Awaiting you reply.
    Thanks

    I send an email 3 days ago asking for a better pic and ask if he could get his hand on any more of the "white" coins. No reply yet.

    smart move , why pay $17 for postage when you can pick it up yourself? These threads bring out the ingenious ideas of us all image

    Well as you know $17 is $17 .... Gotta save it when you can .. No telling when deals like this come along ..
  • drsvenghalidrsvenghali Posts: 291 ✭✭
    That can't be a scan. I don't know of any scanners that have a date/time stamp on them. It must be a photo.

    You guys are too funny. You have to email him back and say that "I am sorry I can't buy your coin. I was able to locate another and it was only $145K so I purchased the other coin."

    I've examined the jpgs via high density scanning techniques, and the coin may well be legit.

    From what I can make out however, this is not a Lincoln Steel cent. This is an early Alaskan Seal cent.

    Very rare.

    That just may be the only Alaskan cent that I'm missing !! Now, what is Jose's phone number again ?
