    Does it look like he's shilling his auction? No.
    Is the coin a Shilling? No.

    It's listed under gold American Eagles, so I am assuming it is a half-ounce gold American Eagle. If it were a schilling, it would be listed under Austrian coins. A shilling would be a British coin.

    PS- how can it look like a schilling to you? I don't see any picture at all?

    I'm not sure about your question but I did notice that the seller's ID had a dirty word in it. image

    The question is there is a high bidder on this coin. If you look at the feedback of that high bidder it is almost exclusively from the seller.

    Looks like he has won several of the sellers auctions. I don't see a problem.image

    If this were a poll, I would vote for Fatmans' Schilling.

    Yeah, that schilling is great. He cancelled all the bids and the one I thought was a schill cancelled his bid.

    What is a "schill"?

    Are you talkin' about an auction bidder who bids to artificially raise the price? That is a shill. I suppose you could say "shilling" as a verb (using the same spelling as the British coin). But "schilling" is an Austrian coin, and there is no such word as "schill".

    Yes, i should have known not to use a coin reference in the titleimage. What I meant was someone artificially increasing the price.
