I was watching this item and just saw the shipping costs. Pass.

    His pricing is all over the board on shipping (ranges from $4.50 to $5.50 to $6.95...) with his other lots, so I wouldn't give up on him yet.

    It is possible he believes there is going to be a big finish on this Wounded Eagle Sacagawea and thus the (new USPS) insurance rate will be somewhat expensive. (Of course, it could also be, as he featured this coin at an added expense of $20. he's looking for the postage to pay that fee back!)

    I wouldn't abandon the auction quite yet... it's still in a comfort range that, even considering the added postage to the auction price, is a pretty good deal when compared to what MS64 ANACS (the only pricing history available for the variety) coins have closed at (average of $400., give or take...).

    It would be nice if he had posted a photo of exactly what the Wounded Eagle is.

    Do either of you have a link that shows this?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    He is banking on the fact that PCGS has only encapsulated 2 as of now ,but that is because they just started recognizing the variety.

    He is selling a "Wounded Eagle" variety, but doesn't picture the eagle on the reverse. But, he did include a picture of a much nicer "Cheerios" variety to compare. The only problem is that the reverse makes both of these coins. His pictures show nothing.

    Depending on what the final price will be, it may not be bad.
    I just shipped a package registered priority, $1000.00 value for $21.00
    First class to Florida from Ohio 2 coins $50.00 value, $4.09 to ship

    People waste billions of dollars on gas. The big bad wolf is out there, but I don't think it's the seller identified in this thread.

    I think you are right. His other auctions have much more reasonable shipping charges. I think he is expecting a big sale number to insure. Even so, I think his star rating in the shipping cost category will suffer a hit.
