    I think it's possible the owner actually thought it was unc per his listing and the winning bidder, along with the under bidder were shills. Winner has 1 bid with 100% with this seller and the under bidder is 29%. Or the winner knew the underbidder had a high bid and accidentally went too far

    I have no idea.

    For that coin to be worth $2100 it would have had to be a really nice ms63+++

    doesnt really look like that to me
    may the fonz be with you...always...

    I'd bet E-bay would love to get paid for that sale but it's a lock that they never will. Because vette is a huge coin seller even if it's him, his mother, his father and his kids doing all the bidding they wont do anything.



    Meanwhile, if some high roller with more cash than brains bid, he'd be toast.



    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    The listing says "Uncirculated" so it must be so!

    Those two highest bids are so close, that they're suspicious. The winning bid is far short of a full increment above the underbid.
