The user has a picture of a nice dateless 1916 doubled die obverse buffalo nickel with the date worn off but still one of the nicest
1916 DDO,s without a date that I have ever seen. This dude had four auctions like this, all similar, and two of the auction ended with someone paying the biggie bucks to take this deal. All the auctions had the same picture. Two of the four auctions ended yesterday and when I went to bed last night only two were running and he added another one after that. So now three are still running with two sold.
I forgot to add that the user does not say this is a 1916 DDO but this is evident by the thickly doubled ribbon ties
Of coiurse there are no returns and and I can just hear their groans when they look at they coin they get and find out it is not
the coin as pictured! Any thoughts on this one? Oh and I did message the seller and he said I would get the coin as pictured!!

Ouch. Buyer beware. He is describing a 1929 nickel.... and that is what is what the buyer will certainly get. Nevermind the the photo shows the doubled die 1916....
I'm not sure it's an intentional scam. The guy is just an idiot. Look at his wheat cents. And he's calling it a 1929 Buff for some reason.

Whenever someone touts something as a "good investment", I always ask "if it's such a good investment, then why are you selling it?"

Because he needs new glasses...
One "bidiot" bought one of these dateless wonder coins and had to go to ebay to get his $1000 back! Yes he did pay one grand for this pig-in-a-poke. But he did get his money back after going to ebay.

With eBay, no returns means nothing. As a seller, if you get a INAD case opened up, they will always side with the buyer.
