Could this be the longest standing unsold U.S. coin on eBay?

Listed initially in 2010, and note how for continuously relisted BIN or Best Offer items that eBay no longer runs an accumulating listing of declined or expired offers. This had about 40 declined or expired offers until eBay felt it wiser to hide this feature. Anyone got a longer standing unsold coin than this regency holdered 1887/6 Morgan ?

The only way now to determine how long an item has actually been around: item listing revisions.

    Yes. The seller has claimed right from the beginning that it is a consignment, and won't budge one cent off the BIN price. The consignor must be exceedingly vain, as they obviously don't need the proceeds from a sale. Maybe the market will catch up to his price around 2025.

    regency holder...ok
    way too pricey by me...it can sit as long as seller likes

    but yeah
    surely many a coin can out do this example...there's dogs still flopping with ebay "list till it sells" thing

    i'd even think there's dogs up there flopping in the endless listed status that the seller has passed away...
    family never even knew listing was up too and coins in such state they never will never sell

    strange but i bet its true
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    Price actually looks about right at $1500. Coin is worth $500 and non Danny Kaye holders seem to bring about $1000 extra.

    If he put "Regency" in the title, it would probably move.
