Here are two listings on Ebay. I'm not in the market for one, but found these listings quite interesting.

This one with a Buy It Now of $250,000:

ebay.com/itm/1794-Flowing-Hair-1-Silver-Dollar-PCGS-graded-VF20-Grade-Verified-by-CAC/172722464630?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D45560%26meid%3D5f03290803da4cec9d7b6bebb2fd0ba8%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D322638703540&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982

The other listing with a Buy It Now of $235,000 and Make Offer option:

ebay.com/itm/1794-1-Flowing-Hair-Dollar-PCGS-VF20-CAC-Approved-Secure-Plus-Rare-Coin/311934914945?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D45560%26meid%3D5f03290803da4cec9d7b6bebb2fd0ba8%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D322638703540&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982

They are actually the exact same coin offered by two different sellers at two different prices at the same time.

If you have the money, I suppose you could try to buy both and see what happens.

    But if you buy both, I guarantee one of them will fail to honor the deal. :p

    That's interesting, one in the same coin.

    Opposite sides of the county. Wonder which one is holding it?

    It's probably being held in Ft Knox with Americas 8000 tons of gold. :D

    They also each have their own set of photos. Interesting situation.

    I like both of them. Why not a double Buy-It-Now? :D

    Interesting situation... looks like they are coordinating though, so should not be a problem. Cheers, RickO
