ROFL! He should have just posted a picture of himself and said, "The coins in my right pocket".

He forgot his Meth lab was still cooking while he was taking the photo..

"Moon money" ain't what it used to be...

I still see a fair amount of auctions that have no picture at all. Just the description of the coin.

Rob41281 · February 17, 2009 2:49AM

lol, im not sure, i assumed a really bad pic of the coin, maybe it really is the moon!?

It may be"easy to read" but it sure isn't easy to see.

It's a piece of modern art.

I am in awe. That is worse than I can do when i'm trying to do poorly.

I'll have to try harder.

I wonder if I can buy the moon? You couldn't really take advantage of the real estate, at least for a long time...but you gotta admit it would be cool to tell people about the piece of property you just bought..."yup...gonna fill in that "sea of tranquility" and make it into one huge A@$ golf course."

Just for the heck of it, I looked up on the internet if there is land for sale on the moon...there actually is!!!Here I am stunned.

Here is an actual bit of the Moon that I bought. It is some Moon dust that was cleaned off of the returning equipment (spacesuits etc.) of the Apollo 12 astronauts. It cost substantially more than $12. FYI it is from the Ocean of Storms on the Moon.

Give the seller a break. He hasn't sold anything for three years, so he's just out pf practice with the camera. Or it could be a hijacked account.

Yea, these days digital cameras are tricky. I keep taking pictures of my eyeball when I try to focus.

They weren't kidding when they said "dust."

Did it come with a free microscope?

I got this is November in the only auction that I've ever been in where I won everything I bid on. I strongly suspect it had to do with stock market crashing in October. I hadn't even been planning on bidding on this item, but I COULD NOT believe it when it only bid up to $500. I put in a throwaway bid of $525, ~$650 with commission and tax, and won it. Normally these Moon dust samples will run well into the $2,500 - $3,500 range, AND that's for the latter Apollo flights, 15 - 17, where there actually are a fair amount of Moon dust examples floating around. This is one of ONLY 12 examples (and FWIW it is example #1) from the Apollo 12 landing, the 2nd landing on the Moon. I'll let you decide which has more long term historical interest, and potential appreciation value, one of 12 known validated Moon dust samples from the SECOND lunar landing OR a $650 coin, let's say an AU55ish CBH, bought in November 2008.

Also, purely from a personal standpoint, much as I Love coins, it is just WAY more interesting/fun to look at this piece on any given evening and then step outside and look at the Moon at the Ocean of Storms and realize that I've got a little bit of it.
