Responding to the listing for silver dollars and showing interest in the 1807 half cent (offered $85) and get a reply of: "your (sic) not even close the coin is valued at $10,000." I hurt my diaphram from laughing so hard.

    Craigslist is awful for this kind of stuff.

    Did it ever occur to anyone that the guys who setup in hotels probably get a hundred inquiries like this for every deal they can actually buy?

    It does appear it may be better than G4 condition by quite a bit, even with the nearly useless picture.

    It is not very useful to assign a grade to a coin for which you've only seen one side of. Eh ?
    I asked for an opportunity to view in hand. I was flat out refused, because I am "anonymous" - DERP !

    Yes, no prices on CL doesn't make sense, ...but then I also see no asking price posts on BST here which I do not even consider. JMO :smile:

    And the owner claimed he has a Redbook, which values an AU50 at $1K, so his claim of $10K value is obviously the product of someone with delusions of grandeur. Craigslist has a way of appealing to numismatic illiterates.
