    I don't know which is more amusing, the lack of a best offer option or the claim "most beautiful by far" in the subheading. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig....

    It IS a nice Churchill crown.

    Why, I would be a buyer... at 1/100th the price. I reckon I'd go thirty bucks on that one, and there ain't many Churchills I'd say that about.

    Three grand? He just got crazy with a couple decimal places, that's all. image

    I'm going out on a limb on this and predict it won't sell.

    We know this guy on the PCGS message boards as pharmer and he likes to show off his toners on his eBay store.

    I'd love to hear an explanation of that toning, because from the images it seems so artificial it makes my eyes hurt just to look at it. image

    Did you see the toned Chinese Junk dollar in his store? Very similar toning.
    While he's not the doctor, it appears as though he enjoys the work.

    Not to be crude but I imagine this fellow is expecting that sucker we here is born every minute to show up.
    Which brings me to another question, do ebay bidders do any research before they bid on something?
    It's amazing to me to see a bidder win something 4 times its value when a lot of times they could have
    just out right bought it for less someplace else. It amazes me.

    Yes, it's very interesting that a silver coin and a copper-nickel one will tone in exactly the same manner, almost as if someone was using a paint-by-numbers template. image Did the graders at PCGS consider that?

    the seller's ebay store is just fishing for suckers. that price, and that artificial toning is absurd.
