If this coin is uncirculated then I am Fabio

Just thought we all could enjoy some humor and a good laugh for the weekend.
Enjoy!

    About 12? years ago I was working on an underground water (HYDRANT?) line when a car drove by and one of the crew shouted out, "Hey, there goes Fabio!" All the guys laughed......then the car turned around and came back.....the driver needed directions...... it was Fabio......what a hoot!

    $56 is a fair price on that coin

    The seller might be right about being uncirculated, as if it is counterfeit, it would probably never been circulated. :p

    "This coin retails for $265-$365" per the ad. I would never do business with a person like this. I guarantee you will get less than you think.

    It got uncirculated when it got in that Air-Tite holder, Fabio.

    What the seller meant was that once you put it in your drawer it will be "Uncirculated".

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have long ago stopped finding ebay listings surprising... Especially in coins... Many who post the coins have no idea what the terms mean and have just picked them up from looking at other listings. So they use them to sell grandpa's old coins... ebay is the trash heap of coins... Yeah, there are occasional treasures, I just do not have the time or patience to wade through the pile. Cheers, RickO

    His is listed as "rare".

    I listed mine as " a good filler".
    Darn it. I could get more if I put "rare" in the listing. :joy:

    I agree with the sentiments about Ebay, but if one wants to take coin selling to the next level there is Etsy! :|

    Why focus on it being over graded, rather than it not being genuine?

    That's was what I was going to say. I'm sure that it's not Uncirculated, but I'm not sure that it is genuine.

    Of course it could be "Mint State" from the Chinese Mint. I'm no sure how they turn their products into "circulated Morgan Dollars." Striking an Unc. and then making it VF sounds like a lot of work. It's easier to do what they did a Machin's Mills 200+ years ago, and strike in VF from the get-go.
