OK, who can spot the two errors …

LochNESS

… or rather, the two problems in this listing?

The picture shows more than 100 coins.

One problem I noticed quickly...if there are 100 $1 coins... The starting bid is higher than $93.05 ...since it is $6.95 for shipping.

Coinflip

He's been selling them in lots of 100 for $140ish multiple times

OK, I'm the idiot this time

1) I recently downloaded the Coinflation iPhone App onto my phone. It's a "live melt value calculator." Thought I'd give it a whirl on eBay …

2) Saw these Ikes, pulled out my phone, opened the app and here's where I went wrong … I pulled up the 40% silver Ikes because hey, I'm a darksider, and I forgot that only the collectible Ikes were 40%, and that the circulation strikes were Cu-Ni

3) Since I was operating on the premise these Ikes were 40%'ers, I figured the melt value at $711. That was the first "error" that I was questioning (why no bids if the melt is $582 more than the starting price?)

4) But this was my biggest fail: the Coinflation app only shows Ikes from 1971-1976 on the 40% page. Instead of saying to myself "gee, what about the '77s and '78s" I thought to myself "oh that guy is advertising Ikes from '71-'78 but they were only made from '71-'76.

GrumpyEd

Some eager bidders out there. He's getting a good price out of this batch!

Well, the obvious error is saying that 1971 is "old."

Hmm, at these prices maybe even my clad Kennedys will move at good prices haha!

Apparently you can on eBay!
