Seller on ebay doesn't know anything about his coin...Just that it's rare...

1894-S dime, uncertified. It's been bid to $2500 with a few days to go. Only $5.48 postage cost to the lucky winning bidder. Now, I can't find the picture for the 1894-S piece being offered in Flynn so hesitate to bid on this particular piece.
Could this be a hitherto undiscovered specimen of a great rarity, the 1894-S dime?

Their only feedback as a seller is another 1894 s dime, they had two of them!
Thats what the S is for, Special
Scam. Seller had two of the 10 known multi-million dollar coins. Right.

I expect that the S is for the Shanghai mint.
I think I may have found it

I am 90% sure that is 100% fake.
Could be a setup. Make it look like seller sold one and had the positive feedback posted either by themselves or a friend. I suppose it uncirculated too!
I would really like to see this coin.

Funny how there are 3 bids totaling $2500 and bidding started at $2500. I would think that would be hard to do.

Yes, that must be the listing, but please don’t bid on it.😉

It's three bids from one bidder. If a bidder goes in and increases his high bid but there are no competing bidders then the leading bid doesn't change.
I have increased my bids occassionally in the past. In the case of this auction I'm not sure if the bidder is honestly increasing their bid or if it's part of a ruse to make it appear that the auction is hot.
How can it be ungraded but still have a CAC?
He says it is graded by NGC but doesn’t show it in a holder.
The listing also claims that the coin is CAC certified. The seller might not even know what that means.

It can’t.

Nope!!!
eBay looked into my two reports - one that the coin wasn’t genuine and the other, that the seller was misrepresenting the coin as being certified by NGC and CAC. And they determined that the listing wasn’t in violation of their policy.

The first 94s dime he sold was for $400. The buyer said he shipped it without tracking.
Kind of reminds me of this PCGS certified 1877 Indian Head Cent.....

That's a large cent. LOL.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Further research reveals that this particular specimen of 1894-S dime was unknown to David Lawrence as well as Kevin Flynn. Don't anybody accuse me of not doing my due diligence when it comes to the 1894-S dime.

I accidentally came across this listing while hunting for an 1894 Philly issue dime for my one-a-year Barber dime set. I would have posted the link but couldn't make it take here.

I've got more than a couple 1894-S dime stories to tell. It's my favorite great rarity.
