    I think we should eMail and ask for an image of the reverse.

    With such an endorsement of PCGS by the seller, maybe we don't even need a pic of the obverse??
  • bhartman35bhartman35 Posts: 1,398
    Do you get the feeling that maybe it's in a faked slab? Why refuse to show pics of the reverse? Obviously, PCGS isn't perfect, but why would they put it in a VF slab if you could tell just by the reverse that it's not VF? (I assume you could tell, or else why hide it?) image
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Isn't this seller the forum member who cooked up all those modern commems and got them into PCGS holders.

    I think it costs more for a second picture on EBay, maybe he is saving up for gas money.

    A second picture is 15 cents. For what the bidding's up to now, holding back on a 15-cent option is absurd. I've sold coins for $3 that had second pictures. Only a moron would buy a coin without looking at the reverse. (Apparently, he's found 3 of them so far.)

    And the seller could simply stitch the two images into a single image and save the 15 cents. His description says it all.

    It took him longer to type out all of his responses than posting a pic of the reverse woul have taken. That alone says enough to me, but then again he is selling the slab not the coin.

    Alright, I have won the coin.....go ahead and send it to my address. Money? Oh I do not have enough time to send it......but do not worry, I do have money!


    Do you think the seller would have a problem with this?

    Alright, easy there. The high bidder is my brother, I saw this post and was quite amused by it.

    Sorry for the offense. Your brother's obviously not the only one who was taken in. But buying a coin on the basis of the obverse only is like buying a car after only having seen it from one side -- especially when the seller tells you he won't image the other side. In what other context would anyone do such a thing? I'll accept the premise that the bid was a brain fart and not indicative of his normal behavior.

    No offense taken whatsoever. I told my brother his name made it in a post and he got an even bigger kick out of it than I did. Everyone's entitled to express their opinion, that's what these forums are for. I consider myself fairly knowledgable in my series (morgans) and still learn something new here almost every day.

    nice replies tacked on to the listing

    Q: I would like to bid on this coin, but is it ok if I don't pay for it... I really don't have enough time to pay for auctions.. I'm going to be paying for 200 auctions in the next month and paying for this one is just too much work.

    Greetings,
    Everyone asked for and here it is!!
    I wonder why he decided to add picture?

    Wow. There's an awful lot of discussion on this. And I said, "PCGS says it all". This is from the owner of the Golden Silver collection! (ha!) Yes, the responses did take longer than scanning the reverse. It's just the polite side of me that feels like I should respond to quesitons. But I couldn't figure it out....one coin getting all this attention. God, I love these boards! Filled with OCD people just like me (obsessive compulsive disorder).
  • BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
    I was going to bid on the coin, but somehow

    all of the qualifying statements just turned me off.

    Why a seller would be willing to accept significantly lower

    bids to show only the obverse and then say that all sales are

    final is a real turnoff to aggresive bidders.
