    I notice his auction STILL says "I CHALLENGE anyone to show me another coin like this?" even though he was told of another one that sold on ebay recently.

    Perhaps he felt justified to raise his asking price because he only wants $90K+ for this error.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    It has to be legitimate since it is in an ACG slab. I just wonder how much it cost him to have a six figure coin graded since ACG charges more the higher the coin value is?

    Considering how many times he's posted this auction with different prices, the fees have got to be mounting!

    I think the max fee is only $3.30 no matter how much you ask for the coin...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    The fee is only $3.30, so no big deal there. Now it is in an ACG slab (or was it before, I never noticed it). Just being in an ACG slab let's you know the type of person you are dealing with.

    Can you say moron?

    This guy reads the boards and doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to respond here. He sends out e-mails with what you have written on the board and his response. I blocked his e-mail address, so I wouldn't have to read his ignorance. He sent me an e-mail about supply and demand. Evidently, he is too ignorant to see the supply is plentiful and the demand is nill. He has to realize the coin isn't worth near what he is asking, since one NGC certified coin sold for $275.

    Who's that unemployed guy that posts here? He just bought 1 for $200+ slabbed by NGC. I think it was a MS-70.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Hey Dog, why you bustin my BA!!S. Go to tell you I cleaned out the closets here and found a bunch of Apple Computer stuff I had Laying around. It was stuff the I collected when I worked for a dealer (lapel pins, books, glasses, ect...). So I put it on E-Bay, the stuff went for over $600. And I just had to have that coin, if just for a novelty and to tell Pat (the $144,000 guy) that I have one too... Graded by a respectable grading company!!!image

    I think on one of the older posts he paid $8 each...

    A year or so ago I had sold a Delaware quarter with the reverse clad layer missing and only fetched $227. I would think if a few of you guys on these boards have the same coin, put it up on ebay along with this guys coin at 1% of what he's asking $1450. Personally, the coin does not
    look like he's taking a wizz. It's more like someone scratched the die while handling it.

    I think one of the problems is the is not an error, it was just struck with old broken down dies which I don't think should add much premium. I know I like to collect busties with old worn out cracked dies but I have never paid a premium for any of them, even considering this is a modern proof which rarely comes with defects this is so minor and a total lack of interest by modern collectors in items struck by broken down dies the demand is probably no more then 4 or 5 even at a couple dollars each. But eventually MANY more will show up and all the ones he has will be worth what ever the current value of proofs are at that time unless someone buys one as a novelty item.

    I was an underbidder on that coin.
    In my opinion-
    Value of coin: $10.00
    Value of story behind the coin: $100.00.
    I bid accordingly.

    I lost.

    He'll be sending you guys e-mails about how supply and demand determine his prices and he'll be wanting to know where you got your PHD in Economics. As far as his ship in the storm quarter, that one is easy to duplicate, since the proof holders can be opened and closed without any evidence of tampering.

He reads but does not comprehend.typical, typical ,typical.I bet he also knows all about tampering with coins since he explained it so vividly.

    Michael,
    You stated. This guy has relisted the set with a price of $95K. Stupidity runs rampant in his household!

    At what university did you get your Ph.D. in coin collecting? They should have taught you something about supply and demand.

    Now he buys a coin for $14 and lists it for $95,000 calling it rare. Amazing how no one has jumped on these deals of a lifetime.

    I see another one can read but does not comprehend. The fella that sold his coin is one of the owners of the TEN coins total. He made a huge mistake. I only used ACG to show the coin was real to all the sceptics out there. So are you saying the coin is not real since ACG graded it?

    I recently emailed this seller with a few questions concerning the value of his coins and how he bases their value. Below is a copy of the email he sent me. I also ask him to visit this Forum to express his opinions..image

    Hello Whoever you are,
    People ask me questions such as yours all the time. The coin that sold for 98,036.00 less than the one I have is mine. I was the winner of the coin you mentioned. I realized this coin is a rare one and could be the only one like it, hence the high premium. You may find another coin like this but I doubt it. So it seems like I am the only dealer out there for this coin. I just have the ability to spot rare coins and then turn around and advertise them the proper way.
    Next coin THE PISSING MINUTE MAN.
    The seller of these coins did not know how to advertise these coins nor did he know how many there were. I did some research on the Internet and found them to be a rare coin since none were being sold. There are probably a dozen of them out there. That is why the price is so high on these coins and if more are found then of course the price will plummet.

    KINCOIN,
    Why didn't you register your member name as "ConMan?" That would be a more appropriate one for you. All of us on the boards know you're just a dirtbag trying to scam a new collector out of their money.
    .

    "I bet he also knows all about tampering with coins since he explained it so vividly. " I got it from one of those insane, rambling e-mails you sent.
    .
    "I only used ACG to show the coin was real to all the sceptics out there. So are you saying the coin is not real since ACG graded it?" Smooth! Very smooth! You loser! ACG sure gives credibility to this coin!

    To quote from your auction: "This is an EXTREMELY RARE RAW ERROR 2000 S PROOF SILVER MASSACHUSETTS cracked die error." Be a little less ignorant and change all your auction information to reflect it is certified by ACG OR can't you comprehend what raw means?
