This coin was shilled three or four times in the course of six months. There's been a couple of past threads dedicated to this Kennedy (I can't recall the title of them or I'd LINK them back to this one).
I had bid on it and "lost" to a shill twice. The coin, after being "sold" turned up in the same dealer's inventory, back on eBay, just a few days later.
No matter how often Fairtraderz sells this Kennedy it just keeps turning up in their auctions!

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
What is amusing is that every time this coin is listed, they want more money for it!! If I recall correctly, the last time they listed it, the opening bid was something like $150, and no one bid. Perhaps by jacking up the price, they are trying to convince you that this soup-ed up Hyundai is a Lexus!!
The interesting bit about Fairtraderz is that after they were caught shill bidding last December, they changed all their auctions from $1 no reserve to high opening bids approximately at retail levels.

Kranky, thanks for the LINK.
For the life of me, I couldn't recall how I titled that Thread!
