Holy cow, what's with these bidders?
auction 1
auction 2
The first one looks like it's a 65 and the buffalo may make 66...WTH?

This seller has been getting crazy money for his coins. Search old threads about it.

For some reason "Grandpa's Estate" gets rather ridiculous money in most of his auctions.

I've copied and pasted the pictures in Microsoft Word and have magnified the pictures to 500X.

In my opinion, the pictures have been photoshopped.

Seems that the fields have been 'smoothed over' a bit. It's not as obvious as with other sellers, but I think this is the case.

Perhaps other forum members can try this and report back.

In the first link, just by looking at the pics, it appears the fields where the luster turns from light to dark has been grayed out a little. Coincidence that this is right where the prime focal area is? idk.

I see no cartwheel! They are very dull! Cleand IMP Fix Pics!

When I saw 7.50 shipping, no returns policy, and no paypal or personal checks,I stopped looking.

But that estate has pulling in top dollar for " grandpas collection ".

It would be nice to hear from someone that has purchased these raw "beauties".

The coins 'look' nice.. would love to hear from the buyers on these..... I am too cautious to bid on this type auction. Cheers, RickO

crazy prices for his FCC's, Fluer De Coin? Perfect in French?

Edit: look at the rims on the Buff, am I missing something or do proofs have square rims and primo bold sharp lettering

He has some interesting followup feedback from a bidder who left positives and then got educated the hard way.

yep....I need to get out the typewriter and make some 2x2 coin envelopes and let them sit on the window sill a cpl days too !!!

One guy left follow up feedback saying he sent his coin to NGC and it came back BB for enhanced surfaces. If that's the case the seller is probably polishing his coins.

really like the title on this one "near FDC"

Ol' Grandpa had one hell of a collection. This seller has been selling Ol' Grandpa's collection for months on end. The seller even changed his name a few months back to keep the party alive. He still has 100% Positive with 3 neutrals. But on the Item as described he is 4.8/5.0

Dug up from the back yard??

BTW, anyone know what FDC means?

MarkInDavis

I found that he sold an 1885-CC GSA Morgan on November 27th (Sold 1885-CC), and he has one listed for sale ending December 17th (For Sale 1885-CC). The pictures are identical for these two. That can't be right. He also sold a raw 1916 SLQ for over 10k and got positive feedback. No returns, all raw, no paypal. I'd be very nervous.

I wonder whats up with this auction?

I don't ever recall seeing that kind of token in a mint set. Anybody familiar with it?



Edited to add: Packaged after the fact but the packaging looks super clean.
