    I'm tempted :


    Shipping Cost : INR 5,000.00 (~$111)
    Services Available : Buyer Picks Up And Pays image



    and if we add the 10000 rupees for insurance, we have a ~$332 total for shipping alone,totally understandable for such a rare item. image

  • Oh wow. Jacking up the price of some 10cent coin to some hundreds of dollar item? *lol*

    (Time to get hundreds of those)

  • Along the same vein:
    Mexican 5000 Peso coin
    $5000 Mexican Peso (1988) worth $465.92 U.S. Dollars
    only $300!

    Poor fellow may not know of the '92 reform that changed 1000 old Pesos into 1 New Peso. Then again...

    I see the starting bid has been set at a very reasonable $332,000. Who will bid on this "embossed" coin that is "very important to Hindu families?"

    It is obviously due to the 10 cent listing offer that ebay had yesterday. But what if someone with a fake account snipes it at the end? Chances are he won't know the procedure to cancel the sale and will be charged with the appropriate fees. image

    << <i>more then 1100 years old coin cheak manufacturing year on coin >>


    the manufacturing date says 2520. So I guess the coin is from the future. WOW!!!!

    What is really interesting about it is that "According to the other studies it is came to know that the coin is minted in around 20BC, by the technique of stamping. ."

    He also has a solid feedback rating, so we know he is someone we can trust!

    it is came to know that the coin is minted in around 20BC,

    If it isn't dated as such, then it's a fake!! image

  • Whee, Coinpictures: You nabbed a beaut. Yes, it's Thai writing, and the current Thai king.

    Ajaan is right. The date is year 2520, but that doesn't mean the coin's from the future. What Ajaan didn't mention is that in Thailand they use the Buddhist calendar, dating from the birth of The Buddha. If I remember correctly, in Thailand today's date is 2549. So that would make the coin 29 years old or minted in 1977 A.D.

    I see the word "Baht" on the coin, above the date to the left. There's no number, so I assume it's one baht -- or about 2.2 pennies. The man shown on the front is the current much-revered king of Thailand, portrayed as a middle-aged man -- just right for 28 years ago.

    In the condition the coin is in, my estimate is that it's a well circulated one baht piece, worth, as I said, about 2.2 cents. I'd figure 3 pennies to be on the safe side.

    And he's asking a modest $330,000 for it? That's an 11 million TIMES mark-up -- figure 1.1 Billion percent.

    I love that so-called eBay fraud division. Has anybody bothered to write to them? I'll bet you a bright new one baht coin that if you do, they'll send you a nice form letter and let this guy go on selling it. The only redeeming feature of that would be that nobody would dream of buying it.

    Happy new year,



    Just Having Fun!
