Don't delay !!! Bid now and bid high

Clicky

bsshog40 · February 14, 2009 2:44AM

I'm not even showing these as having released from the US mint yet. I have a subscription to these and I have'nt heard anything from the mint from them. Also, the date on the coin does not look like 2009.

Barcat · February 14, 2009 2:45AM

Looks like 2006!

bsshog40 · February 14, 2009 2:47AM

<< Looks like 2006! >>

I just edited my post during yours. I agree, not 2009 date. Someones gonna have problems.

Coll3ctor · February 14, 2009 2:48AM

<< Looks like 2006! >>

Well yeah... but... if you turn the 6 upside down it's a 9

TrustNo1 · February 14, 2009 7:55AM

and why is it over $200??

boucharda · February 14, 2009 8:30AM

It's like the 2009 Lincoln cents......Ya just gotta have it first (even if it's only a 2006)

Maybe the buyer can get it slabbed with a new label "Before it's Struck" or "Not Struck Yet"

I can't imagine the price of a" Not Struck Yet" PF70

bsshog40 · February 14, 2009 10:47AM

I emailed the seller this:

Dear pdprodigy,

Are you sure this is a 2009? I don't show these have been released from the US Mint yet. Thanks!

Response:
Dear bsshog40,

It is a proof coin meaning it has not been released for circulation, only for sale to collectors.

- pdprodigy

I then emailed again (no response yet):
Dear pdprodigy,

I understand and I know all about the SAE's. But this coin is leading people to believe that it is a 2009 Proof Eagle when these have not been released from the US Mint yet. These haven't even started production.

achillesaero · February 14, 2009 11:01AM

what a scam!

bsshog40 · February 14, 2009 11:48AM

$250, someone is gonna be PO'd!!

adamlaneus · February 14, 2009 11:55AM

I don't get it.

There is not a "200*" proof ASE worth that sort of money. Years 2000 through 2008? All go cheap. Especially raw or low grade.
(or am I incorrect in this assumption, that the 200x proofs are not the expensive ones)

Someone really must have thought this is a 2009, then. That's the only thing I can think of that explains the final bid.

coasterfan · February 14, 2009 11:57AM

I can't wait to see how much a 2009 95% copper cent goes for.

ChrisRx · February 14, 2009 11:58AM

SOLD to some idiot thats gonna get a 2006

Clawdia · February 14, 2009 12:13PM

Bubba deserves to get kicked off ebay for this scam . . . and he's got two more auctions running right now for the same thing.

If we can't even buy them from the mint now, no way he's got any 2009 proofs.

Anybody know how to alert ebay to a scammer at work?

i emailed him twice also and asked him where he got the coin. he gave the same evasive answers to me.

adamlaneus · February 14, 2009 12:22PM

What a scammer.

This auction does not say proof, and it is very ambiguous

Read the text. Bullion brilliant uncirculated coins.

The one that sold today does not have the word "proof" in the title, but the rest of the auction is unambiguous. That was a huge ripoff.

The two that are currently running are confusing mishmashes. Perhaps the seller thinks this will prevent them from getting a SNAD?

This person has read my threads on eBay photography, especially part 4. How to avoid a SNAD with an ambiguous listing. Joke is on him; the techniques used in my threads do not actually work.

BULL $#!@%&*$%E!@$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waste of time, Clawdia. They don't have the personnel or the desire to do anything about it. Plus, they can't just take our word for it.

messydesk · February 14, 2009 1:05PM

<< Anybody know how to alert ebay to a scammer at work? >>

eBay doesn't care as long as the scammer pays his bills on time. Nothing will happen until the buyers launch negs at him. eBay might suspend him from selling, and since he's not a Power Seller™, they might even think of suspending his account.

Finally got this answer:

Dear bsshog40,

I see but why are you telling me?

My reply:

Dear pdprodigy,

Because you are getting bids on a coin that unknowledgeable people are bidding a lot of money on. The proof that you are selling 2006?? actually sells for around $40. I'm just letting you know that this will probably come back to bite you! Just a concerned collector!

Got a quick response to that:

Dear bsshog40,

Thank you then.

OPA · February 14, 2009 2:03PM

Reported ...

<< Reported ... >>

ChrisRx · February 14, 2009 2:53PM

The "winner" of this auction received a coveted

boucharda · February 14, 2009 10:28PM

I had two thoughts as to why the bids were so high:

1) It is the rare 2009 with the obverse of 2006 (variety/error)

or

2) The seller includes a new 2009 Lincoln cent with purchase

boucharda · February 14, 2009 10:37PM

He has another one for sale. It says 2009 Proof in listing but describes a regular uncirculated 2009

Reported...

Coll3ctor · February 15, 2009 1:57AM

Sold for $250.00

Look at all the bids this guy put in

I wonder what his max bid was ?

bsshog40 · February 15, 2009 6:15AM

I had this seller email me again today. I'm trying to figure out if he just has no knowledge or what. I would'nt presume he would email me after the auction closed unless he may really not know what he is doing or selling. He wrote:
Dear bsshog40,

I don't understand, if this coin is a fake, how can there be NGC graded 2009 Uncirculated SAEs?

- pdprodigy

My response:
Dear pdprodigy,

My friend, the only 2009 Silver eagles that have been minted that are available to the public, via dealers, from the US Mint are the Uncirculated Bullion Eagles. They have no mintmark which means they were minted at the Philadelphia mint. There are 2 other types that are the Uncirculated "W" mint and the Proof Version "W" mint. The coin you are showing is a proof version. The 2009 "W" mint versions of the Uncirculated and Proof version have not started production (not minted yet) from the US Mint. I hope this helps you.
