    I wish I had the loot to win that thing, but I really don't want to part with $10 right now.

    I love how he equates his buyers with cavemen who stir coffee with the eraser ends of pencils.

    There are so many things wrong with his statement, aren't there?

    There sure seems to be a strong correlation between that power seller logo and scumbags.

    Can't blame him really, if all his buyers are as dim as the one that asked how much it weighs. He handled that question with more tact than I would have, since it's printed right there in the description.

    Do real 1804 dollars have reeded edges?

    from coinfacts.com:

    Thus, we find three classes of 1804 Silver Dollars. Class I examples were made circa 1834 - these all have lettered edges and no rust pit in the field just left of the top leaf of the olive branch on the reverse. Class II examples were made after 1857 - the only known specimen has a plain edge. Class III examples were made after 1857 - they all have lettered edges and a rust pit in the afore-mentioned place on the reverse. Currently, eight examples are known of the Class I type, one is known of the Class II, and six are known of the Class III type

    Maybe the bums have moved their operation to the indoor shelter and are now listing on Ebay.

    High bidder won a trade dollar from China and resold it for 200% profit. Must have a sharp eye.

    My bust dollars do. I readed the edge just the other day. It said, "ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT."

    I'll go away now.
