The wordiest ebay ad ever. Not for the faint of heart.

This auction takes the cake for the most "descriptive" ad ever. Just when you though the seller could not ramble on with additional loving adjectives, he finds a way to add an entire paragraph. And does it over and over again for page upon page.

The beauty of his logic is using the "CAM" card to call this a major rarity. If one ignores the 17 years of PCGS coins graded "non-cameo" and fails to realize that the CAM coins only have a few years of data under their belt, then I guess it is a "RARE" coin. The BIN of $7000 for a $2-3K coin is a stretch.

Caution: under no circumstances should you try to read the entire description. Besides the risk of blurred vision for hours on end, portions of your mind will permanently turn to jello.

    It's long, but there are far worse ones out there. This one was more a pain to read because of the font size

    I've seen much worse than that. Muuuuuuuuuch worse.

    Some sellers have serious mental/emotional problems. There was one auction (posted here on the boards) where the seller went in and out about his coin and his life. It was a soap opera in print.

    Buyer and seller of vintage coin boards!
