Smoeone has smoe pretty high hopes for...

THIS raw Bridgeport.

I never understood the reason behind stating NO RESERVE and then starting the auction at anything above $0.99
( $240-.50 in this case)

Outhaul

Actually, this one started at $20.00

Current bid $240 is MS65 money. Looks like someone is putting a lot of faith in those small images. But it is possible that the seller has made larger images available to the bidders.

Edited to add: oh my...No Returns

<< <i>No Returns >>


My point...

While I'm not a buyer and I certainly don't advocate buying it.....what's wrong with it....am I missing something?

The buyer seems credible enough. If it is being misrepresented, it doesn't seem blatant.

Edited to note the sellerseems credible enough.

Coin looks a bit buffed, especially the reverse...could just be a bad photo/lighting.

Still, I like that reverse!

I'm not a specialist in those old commems, but....

I've seen enough silver to suspect this one of being (having been) dipped.

edit to add: This is not to say that it hasn't taken on a nice newer toning.... where is Mr Feld ? He could tell ya.

Just for my 2 cent comment.... I could never handle that design. If it were my coin I would have to burn it

Whenever I see a seller state explicitly "no returns" I know they're either selling crap and they know it, or their photos are doctored or purposely of quality that prevents a reasonable estimation of the coin's grade being arrived at, or the seller is a scam artist, or a combination of these factors.

He's a Power Seller. It must be okay, since eBay holds them to the highest ethical standards.

The bidder is gambling serious MS-65 money on a raw coin with a "NO RETURN" policy and no mention of a grade in the auction. These red flags should be a tip-off.

As for the design, I think (in the case of this auction) P.T. Barnum on the obverse is appropriate.

Depending on how that quarter looks....it looks legit....also, if you didn't notice....Fred had a bid in on it as well...... If I wasn't moving, I would be in on it. I love those kinds of errors.
