  • By looking at the seller's name, the proceeds are for the church most likely. image

  • He thinks the FS designation is for the designers initials instead of full steps.image
  • I am thinking he thinks Felix Schlag initials on the coin FS, means FS in price guides(Full Steps). Ain't any steps there, its a wheel chair ramp.

    Up for your consideration tonight is this 1968-D FS nickel in ungraded-uncirculated MINT condition! This appears to be around a 68 grade and NONE has been graded that high yet!I have looked at several coins and this one is in EXTREME EXCELLENCE! Please feel free to look at any coin pricing guide before bidding!!As I am weary of this reaching the actual worth of the coin I am going to put a reserve on this item(It's extremely low for this coin).However you should be your own judge on this and checkout my other listed items and SILVER DOLLARS I started at .01 with no reserve and FREE shipping!

    I like how there is a reserve in one sentence, then no reserve in the last image
  • That's one big step...more like a slide.

    Take a look at this one!!

  • The listing has been changed considerably BECAUSE someone(might have been me)took the time to let this guy know he had made a mistake in his description. While it is true he isn't familiar with the products he is selling AND buying(I know ignorance is no excuse)once he knew of his mistake he cleared it up right away. We exchanged several emails concerning Full Step designation so now he KNOWS. If he tries to put anything else up in a similar fashion, THEN he probably needs to be reported.

    Great job! Just who in the world doesn't know what full steps are?............this world just never ceased to amaze me!

    My apologies for my rude post.

    Absolutely no need to apologize to anyone! image The point of this forum is for experienced collectors to help others gain insight and knowledge.

    Time is the only teacher for experience. I have to admit that since I try to be polite, I left thoughts unsaid as I responded to his emails.

    High bidder: User ID kept private

    This auction must be really heating up! With 7 bids and at $1.50, ebay has hidden the bidder's identities?!? image
