If I had a million dollars, I might spend it a little differently, but I gotta admit that the photo gets one's juices flowing, seeing all those loose coins in a big heap like that. (Not the most numismatically sound practice, but it makes for an appealing picture!)
<< <i>One has to wonder why they are selling the lot instead of auctioning the individual coins. >>
Because the listing cost him only 20 cents. Besides the buzz that he creates by listing such an expensive lot, there's always a one in a million chance that someone might bite in which case he will be able to get rid of all the unsellable gold coins that he has in stock.
But basically, it's with the hope that more people than usual will look at his other items. Quite clever.

That's most likely a stock photo. The actual coins are probably worn and damaged gold scrap.

maybe, but i've purchased world gold issues from those guys a couple of times. One slabbed ANACS coin, while the other two were nice and conservately graded. In fact, both of them graded one point higher at NGC and PCGS than what they estimated in the auction listing. I would certainly have no hesitation about buying from them again.

Which of course I did .
Now I'm humming the tune to the BNL song...If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a fur coat (but not a real fur coat, that is cruel)...
If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies
Lyrics:
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house) If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) I'd buy you furniture for your house (Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman) And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you a K-Car (A nice Reliant automobile) If I had a million dollars I'd buy your love
If I had a million dollars I'd build a tree fort in our yard If I had million dollars You could help, it wouldn't be that hard If I had million dollars Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere You know, we could just go up there and hang out Like open the fridge and stuff There would already be laid out foods for us Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon Well, can you blame 'em Uh, yeah
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you a fur coat (But not a real fur coat that's cruel) And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you an exotic pet (Yep, like a llama or an emu) And if I had a million dollars (If I had a a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you John Merrick's remains (Ooh, all them crazy elephant bones) And If I had a million dollars I'd buy your love
If I had a million dollars We wouldn't have to walk to the store If I had a million dollars Now, we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more If I had a million dollars We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner But we would eat Kraft Dinner Of course we would, we’d just eat more And buy really expensive ketchups with it That’s right, all the fanciest ke... dijon ketchups! Mmmmmm, Mmmm-Hmmm
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you a green dress (But not a real green dress, that's cruel) And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel) If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars) Well, I'd buy you a monkey (Haven't you always wanted a monkey)
If I had a million dollars I’d buy your love
If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars If I had a million dollars I'd be rich

I guess an auction like this brings out the 'gold investors' who go about things the wrong way.

P.S. If I won a million bucks in the lottery, I would get a Lotus Elise and Exige to park in my new multi-car garage before I would buy gold.

Probably because I'm demented, that's why.
