    I wonder what kind of reasoning you'd get if you tried to return the coin?

    Either a strange sense of humor or serious mental illness.

    It's funny that people jump to the conclusions that people have mental problems when they read something they haven't heard about. Some of the sellers comments have been looked at.

    An interesting aspect of the internet is that it gives us a glimpse of what thoughts and ideas really lurk out there. Overall, not comforting, at least to me. Coin related: that's monster toning all right.

    Regardless of any validity or evidence supporting his theories, I don't think ebay coin sales advertisements are the appropriate place for such discourse.

    This is from the legendary "Closeau Coins".

    Inventory # 3253967-001

    There is No Restocking fee on return.

    What we do when we are not selling coins........... We research the big questions that effect the most people...... We wanted to know why cancer now effects 22% of the population. The cancer growth has jumped twenty five thousand percent in our lifetime. Cancer has gone from 1 case in 5000 in the 1950's to 22 cases per hundred today in 2020.

    In grade school we were told that the only thing that causes cancer is gravity. This is a premise we accept as being true. If you don't you should try to defeat the argument. We have tried unsuccessfully.
    If you can defeat it we'd like to hear from you. And if we are wrong we will report it. The following is the story of the cancer explosion.

    Our story began in 1885 with famed inventor Hubble. He died in 1885. Before dying Hubble wrote out the plans for building his telescope. His friends and family spent 15 years raising the money. In 1900 they started building his telescope. It was completed in 1903. They began testing the limits and found the rings of Saturn. They released the photos in newspapers globally. It might have been the earliest scientific subscription plan. Many countries signed up to receive new photos on a yearly basis.

    The pictures showed growth in the rings of -1 to 3% per year through the 1950's. This all changed in 1960. The rings grew 100%. And kept growing 100% per year throughout the 1960's. And continues at this pace.

    Psychologists believe that things are changed by observing them. This is one explanation for the growth. I find this interesting and haven't been able to challenge this principle.

    We began by finding out what happened before the telescope was built. We found that the ice and rocks that are in the rings today were fought over by the Sun's gravity and Saturn's gravity. The Sun won the majority of these contests right up to the birth of modern aviation. In the year 1960 a bill of passenger rights was enacted.

    On westward flights the explanation of slower travel times are head winds keeping the plane from traveling at the same rate as eastbound flights. In fact eastbound traffic was so fast because of a tailwind. A circular argument which has lasted for decades.

    We theorize that the wind is non-existent and it is actually gravity from the sun. It locks on the heat from the jet engines impeding progress to the west. And pulls the aircraft when it is heading east.

    The suns gravity is so strong that about twenty percent of the passengers may have their dna changed. The passengers who are repeat customers may be in the high risk group.

    This is why Saturn's rings have grown. And this is why cancer effects so many.

    There is hope. The suns gravity effects mainly aircraft traveling above 25,000 feet. If air traffic flies around 14,000 feet the suns gravity will have zero effect. The passengers will only feel the effects of the Earths gravity.

    The only negative here is the rings of Saturn will shrink. And both the rings and cancer will return to the 1950's rate.

    thank you,
    This is our story.
    Jason Best.

    One of the most profound and may I say incisive comments on a listing in the history of ebay! Probably he (they?) have discovered solutions to all our most vexing problems on planet earth (To Serve Man!). We await further revelations! And connected to a coin with terminal toning! How profound!

    It’s the odd choice of venue for the monologue, as well as the disjointed thoughts, that make me wonder. I’m not a mental health professional, but I can’t not wonder.

    He needs to get his effects and affects straight. And I thought Galileo discovered the rings of Saturn, not Hubble. At any rate it's all nonsense.

    Galileo did discover Saturn's rings. His text is incoherent and makes no sense. He does have 100% feedback, so perhaps what he sells is legitimate.

    Sage advice for the eBay seller from BongoBongo.


    BONGO SAY NEARLY EVERYTHING DEPRECIATES OVER TIME. BONGO WOULD NOT PAY $500 FOR A SILVER BELL THIS XMAS AND EXPECT IT TO BE WORTH $550 NEXT YEAR. BUT BONGO KNOW A SILVER BELL IS NOT OLD COIN OR IS IT?

  • MrbarlintMrbarlint Posts: 37 ✭✭✭

    Question #1....Is that coin really MS65?
    Question #2....Is anyone else saving him as a seller so they can read up on dinosaurs and other kooky theories?
    Seems like a fun fellow.

    The real mystery is how NGC graded that coin MS65 :o

  • ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,760 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think the seller forgot to use the sarcasm tags.

    That being said, the biggest crime on that page was the tar color toned Morgan being described as a "monster". And that could also be missing the sarcasm tags.
