Dear People:
A dear friend (tainohenka) and I have been getting ready to start selling some of my duplicate US-Philippine coins on his website: WWW.PHILIPPINECOINS.COM.
But this last trip to Manila, we sorted through the coins and pulled out a half dozen coins that had good grades but which we thought were pieces of, um, er, you-know-what.
We decided keep those embarrassments off the website. We want to keep that for the good schtuff.
So he's posting the junk on eBay. No description. Just the coin grade and pictures, front and back, of the coin. The first coin is up: a 1903 half centavo, graded Proof 62 Brown by NGC. The graders must have been out of their mind to give this coin a grade like that.
In any case, Tainohenka and I just wanted to warn you fellow US-Philippines enthusiasts against bidding on his next 6 eBAy coin offerings.
Enjoy yourselves!

Here you go!!
I think Justhavingfun and tainohenka just wanted to let us know, that they didn't agree with the grade that was given to the coin.
<< <i>Hi -- sorry, I am not clear on this. You are advising us not to bid? Warning us against over-priced coins? What's up?
Exactly what he says; he thinks the coins don't merit the grades and is giving us a healthy warning of caveat emptor.
