Ohhhhhhhhh, say it ain't so.

Boom · May 19, 2006 3:04PM

Has Jade had their account hijacked?

ER · May 19, 2006 3:04PM

Dennis seeing something we're not?

coinbuf · May 19, 2006 3:06PM

Ok I see the high bidder, what am I missing??

Chris

Eddited to add: Oh now I see the all sales final bit.

Boom · May 19, 2006 3:06PM

He must NOT have read the terms of the auction. Sale is final and you will be contacted regarding payment AFTER the auction closes

Boom · May 19, 2006 3:08PM

<< <i> Ok I see the high bidder, what am I missing?? >>

Whisper in his ear Keith.

Whisper in his ear Keith.

Sweet nothings.... I don't think so! He'll figure it out...

LastExitInNY · May 19, 2006 4:21PM

sounds like a ransom drop instruction

techeff · May 19, 2006 4:48PM

Jade, those shipping terms are awesome! Best of luck!!!

joecheck · May 19, 2006 7:47PM

Hey, they have an excellent return policy...

<<ALL COINS GUARANTEED GENUINE OR FULL REFUND. ALL COINS ARE SOLD WITH NO RESERVE AND ALL SALES ARE FINAL.>>

techeff · May 20, 2006 1:53AM

At least it's genuine...

<< <i>Hey, they have an excellent return policy...

That's a nice and clear return policy...

stiffy · May 20, 2006 2:08AM

There is no fish quite like the sucker... Check those neg feedbacks.

Which type of rouge do you think she uses? On the coins, I mean...
lol

morgannut2 · May 20, 2006 2:16AM

What's the coin worth in AU or lightly cleaned--is it rare? What's Jade's downside?

sinin1 · May 20, 2006 2:50AM

it looks proof

jayboxx · May 20, 2006 2:53AM

it's shiny

morgannut2 · May 20, 2006 3:02AM

<< <i>it looks proof >>

I had the same thought--if it's really a proof, they're easier to certify if hairlined--limiting the risk.

lathmach · May 20, 2006 3:11AM

I think Dennis knows what he's doing. That's a sharp looking Half.
He may have requested additional pictures from the seller for all we know.
This seller has had some pretty nice looking coins on Ebay that I've looked at.
The no return policy would be a deal killer for me.
But then who knows, Dennis may have gotten an agreement from the seller where he could return the coin if he found something detrimental.
Nothing's written in stone, especially from an Ebay seller.
A lot of time the sellers that say no returns, just don't want to to have the hassle from people that think auctions are approval services.

Can't tell for sure from the picture, but it looks to me like somebody shined the shot out that one. Maybe used a little brasso on a damp cloth and gave it the military look.

joecheck · May 20, 2006 7:49AM

Look at the bid history! These people are not newbies. Do they know something we do not know?!?

Russ · May 20, 2006 7:52AM

Sure looks like a proof to me, and possibly a cameo to boot.

Do you Thunk? Great coins @ good prices!

rottnrog · May 20, 2006 11:01PM

The rims look awful sharp, could very well be a proof.

JadeRareCoin · May 21, 2006 4:39AM

You guys want to hear something funny? I didn't know that I was bidding on that auction until I saw this thread!

What I mean by that is I personally did not bid on the auction. Andrew from our Chicago office is the high bidder. "jaderarecoin" on eBay is our company account and there are 3 of us with the password. Occassionally Andrew will bid on coins and this happens to be one of those times.

I called Andrew today to get the details. He informed me that he actually saw the coin in person at another dealer's coin shop in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. The seller was in trying to sell some of the coins and Andrew had a chance to see the coins in person. He said that it is lock PF-62 with a shot at PF-63 and that it is certifiable at PCGS or NGC. He stated that the coin has some light hairlines, which are typical for this era of proof seated coinage. If he wins the coin at his bid price (which is a bit more than the current bid), then it will be a rip. One thing most of you don't know is that Andrew is a specialist in Seated Coinage and, furthermore, is a prudent coin buyer. He just doesn't lose money on coins.

Well, that about sums it up. Not having a return privilege is stupid on the seller's part, but great for us since it will eliminate a lot of bidders. Also, Andrew said that the picture is terrible, which further helps his goal of being high bidder. For what it's worth, I would not have bid on that auction without seeing the coin in person, but he did have that advantage.

ER · May 21, 2006 4:43AM

Wow, interesting. Based on that pic, I'd say polished. But, since you guys (Andrew) saw it in hand, you know it.

Tarmac · May 21, 2006 4:50AM

WIll this morph into a "I was ripped off by [fill in] on eBay" thread?

No returns, no slab, no deal.

lathmach · May 21, 2006 4:55AM

Good luck Dennis. Hope you get it and do well with it.

Ray

Fountainhead · May 21, 2006 4:59AM

Hmm, can't see why I shouldn't take a stab at this one myself.

Shamika · May 21, 2006 6:14AM

Dennis, what ever happens please don't forget to keep us informed. We want to know what it comes back from PCGS.

AlixTCat · May 21, 2006 6:37AM

LQQK! That's all I needed to see!

Who searches for LQQK!? I do!

It LQQks like a good coin to me.

Although I'd never spend more than I could afford on a coin.

Jonathan

morgannut2 · May 21, 2006 6:48AM

If I had inside information like Jade--I wouldn't be nearly as nice to Techneff as Jade was, for posting the coin here. If Techneff has a gripe with Jade, why not just write down the problem so he may respond?

relayer · May 21, 2006 11:42AM

Looks like Jade set the price

Bochiman · May 21, 2006 5:05PM

I don't think Techeff was trying to slight jaderarecoin (dennis or andrew) on the coin but was pointing it out because the pic makes it look fakes/worked (at least, to me).
Was probably more a surprise thing.

Of course, now that Dennis has come out with what he did, seems there is a "bucksnort" that has become the high bidder.....any bets that the person reads this forum???

sinin1 · May 21, 2006 7:50PM

boy, I wouldn't have said anything until the auction closed

jade gets a

it still is probaby worth 2-3 times current bid with 12 hours to go

fivecents · May 21, 2006 8:25PM

Looks like bucksnortz is the high bidder again.

LanLord · May 21, 2006 9:28PM

The rediculous thing about a title like : "The highest bidder on this auction" for a live auction is that at the time I looked, it was "Bucksnortz".

I imagine you were talking about Jade bidding, but it's a live auction and he wasn't the high bidder any longer.

Gotta figure out a better way to describe what you want people to look at.

techeff · May 22, 2006 7:49AM

I imagine you were talking about Jade bidding, but it's a live auction and he wasn't the high bidder any longer.

Imagine if it didn't matter who the highest bidder was?
