Some people crack me up!

I was browsing Craigslist, and came across this little gem:

$40,000 Morgan Dollars...

I emailed the person and gently explained that the Morgans were not worth anywhere near 40 grand, and wished them luck with the sale.

INB, never heard of them. I think it means " I'm not bidding " on my part

My father browses Craigslist for fishing gear, hunting, etc. Everytime he runs across anything with Coins he lets me know. He sent me an e-mail yesterday about some Presidential Dollars. I checked out the listing and the guy was selling common bank wrapped rolls of Pres. Dollars for $10 over face value

some people are having a silver dollar show in massachusetts somewhere. NO NEW DOLLARS allowed there and they wont let them in. $10 over is hard to take for sure

The mint does the same thing. Every time a new one comes out until there are several million of them then they sell them for face.

Junky, I wouldn't be too quick to make fun of those, some common bank-wrapped rolls of Pres bucks ARE selling for $10 over face. I think there were some sold on the BST.

That should be a crime. Some old man is going to buy that and get took.

I sure hope nobody is that darned stupid (to actually pay anything close to 40k) but people might be willing to pay far more than their actual worth if they are not familiar with numismatics.

Yeah I believe I remember seeing that thread myself. Eh, I shouldn't have jumped on it too quick - everyone has their own taste in what they collect.

IMO the best thing to due is email him and ask if would consider an offer of $35,000 then let him hold them forever..................

He will go to his grave assured they are $35K or greater...........

And why should this be a crime? The price lists DO say that they are worth around 40 grand in the listed grades. If the seller thinks that they are worth 40 grand and the buyer thinks that they are worth 40 grand then to the only two people in the transaction who matter they are INDEED WORTH 40 grand. The fact that the buyer wouldn't be able to later get his money out of them is irrelevant to this particular transaction.
