I wonder if the bidders are actually reading the description.

    At the very least, he shouldn't have 'PCGS' in the item title...that is very misleading.

    That’s actually one of the better descriptions… at least he tells you up front the coin is no longer in the holder (presuming of course that is the original coin)… of course it counts as upgraded by pretty much anyone’s standard but, for some reason, the story actually sounds true… as in “here’s my old coin, I took it out of the holder, here’s the old holder, please sell it for me”

    I do think people actually read the descriptions, that why you always see those “$100,000 in value” coin auctions only selling for $50 to $100 … bidders do read the auction and bid accordingly…they’re just looking for a great bargain and gamble that the seller could be telling the truth and he really didn’t search through the coins and one of those graded Morgans they get in the grab-bag will be from Carson City… not going to happen of course but… they bid accordingly.

    With 2000 positive feedback and no negs. A clear picture of the coin out of the slab. I would think that the bidders know what they're getting.

    You may be right but I would not be surprised!
    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!
