That is just one of many phony stories being told by that so-called seller. The truth is more like junk sale, but that probably would not sell as much trash.
My favorite line "Inside the clock were many "cigar boxes" of coins and it appears to be collectibles and copy coins of old American designs, from about 1797 to 1850 or so." I'm betting there will be many copy coins

I think the West St Paul MN police should be notified about possible stolen property. Also tax offices to make sure that property tax and inheritence taxes were paid on the coins. And the newspapers and TV stations need to be notified about this find! And, of course, the secret service about selling counterfeit coins.

I bought from this turd of a seller once a long time ago. For $25 I got a handful of coins that I could have just as easily picked out of pocket change. I was completely disappointed and I returned them. Steer clear from any of his junk auctions.
Yep. That is a photoshop job. The first clue is the exceptional, "too bright" lighting you see of the items in the clock. No shadows? I don't believe it.
The next clue is parallax. You see none. You are looking at stacks of items here. One photograph is taken from an angle and one is taken from a more direct angle. Yet, look at the items relative to each other. Nothing moves. Sorry, not possible.
That can only happen if the items in the clock were a separate, single photograph, photoshopped into the clock photos.
That's alot of effort for a $58 sale. Personally, if I were contracted to perform a Photoshop job, the minimum price would be $8,000.
and the picture with the change- the coin is sitting in the air outside the clock... this seller has been selling this cr#ap for YEARS. it cost $5 to make the auction and another $5 for the junk inside it. thats almost $40 profit on every auction...
Bought a so-called grab bag from this guy years ago for about $7. Got one bronze Roman coin and 10 common Wheaties. Would never consider doing such a thing again.
