I knew it would happen.
What are the odds that the buyer will get this? (slim or none)
<< <i>That is a $2200 coin. I'd buy it for $1000!

It's very possible the seller, being a newbie, anticipated that there would be a lot more bidders on this item, so he started it at $1 or 1 cent with a low or "no reserve". I've done this lots of times and coins sold for less than book or perceived value.
P.S. I hope it wasn't a scam

Both Coins were for sale at the same time.
I'm the buyer for nice deal last night, however nothing is going out to him until we talk.
I suspect this is a 'second account' of this long-time EBayer.
I'll let you know what happens.
I won't pay untill I find out what coin I bought, if any ;>

that was my auction. That auction ended unsold and this brand new ebayer tried to make few bucks with my image.
Contacted coinboy and notified ebay.

Thanks for the help, David.
I did a little hunting and got the info on him:
User ID: opalcaesar434
Name: Opal Caesar
Company:
City: Hermosa Beach
State: CA
Country: United States
Phone: (310) 458-1125
Registered Since: Friday, Apr 07, 2006 14:36:09 PST
He claims Hermosa Beach, but the Phone Number is disconected and is listed under the Name "A. Darvis" in Santa Monica, which is on the other side of LAX (north) in an Office Building.
I know the area as I have a Branch Office in Santa Monica with my business.
Dan was the first to point out the (2) Sales, one legit (David's) and the Hermosa Beach weasel.
Obvously in bidding I suspected it would never go thru, but why not try?
There are no free lunches, but once in a while there is one that is allowed to slip by.
