and the guy says the coin has no problems...

what about the scratch, giant miscolored area, and rim ding?

Other than the condition of the coin, the thing that seems suspicious to me is the starting bid. Granted, I haven't been cruising Ebay as long as some people, but I've never seen a starting bid that close to the BIN.

I do that with the BIN all the time.

I don't need to make a lot of money on each coin if I can turn them over quickly.

I know Ernie, and I'd bet the coin doesn't look too bad in hand.

The fact that it's NOT certified should say something to you!

That's VG/F graysheet bid, which is a fair price for the coin. It's not too bad a deal on a raw, circulated CC Trade dollar!

Fair enough. Like I said, I haven't been cruising Ebay as long as some.

I always figured that guy was a board member for some reason. Guess not?

Lots of history there...probably didn't leave the USA since there are no chop marks. Most collectors of the series would value it as full VG.

UncleJoe

Some handling marks as expected, but no problems.

Semantics. Nothing wrong with this auction IMO. What is a problem?

The auction has two large pics showing the exact condition of the coin. Is his description really necessary or important in this auction for a coin in G/VG?

This is not the kind of auction IMO that needs to be called out on the carpet.

I've never been a fan of this seller.

He always overgrades and always tell you that the coin is "problem free"......YEH RIGHT MAN!!!



That's why I don't buy from him, just laugh at his pathetic attept to sell coins.

I usually set a BIN to be within $10 of my first bid to encourage people to pull the trigger now and only on coins which are hot items. Who would bid $190 on that when maybe you could get that for $175.

That auction is not too bad. Better than most of his auctions. One thing I will add to this thread: I have eBay searches set-up on my computer and I have (for the past couple of years) excluded that seller and a couple of others from all searches. When I search for colonials, none of his auctions show up and my surfing experience is less nauseating.

Yes, all of my searches are "ernie-free" as well!

I have made two satisfactory purchases from that seller. I typically find his descriptions of items to be optimistic at best. Photos of the two items I purchased were accurate, to include color.
