Proof Set of 1934 Coins ????

MICHAELDIXON · August 31, 2004 1:07AM

Isn't this amazing????

Baley · August 31, 2004 1:10AM

wow, 1934 proof coins in 1974 packaging!

Those aren't easy to crack and reseal. I wonder if the set is going to just fall apart during mailing.

I like how he says they are proof, but then states the coins are MS60-65. Interesting.

Kind of cool. I'm doing the same thing but with a set from 1861, including gold. He clearly made a mistake calling it a proof set, but it could be a date set of mintstate coins from 1934.

He doesn't call it a proof set.

kieferscoins · August 31, 2004 1:21AM

He doesn't call it a proof set???? The first line in his description says:

<< <i>This auction is for a proof set of 1934 coins consisting of the following: >>

<< <i>He doesn't call it a proof set. >>

This was directly copied from the listing.

This auction is for a proof set of 1934 coins consisting of the following

Iwog · August 31, 2004 1:23AM

Okay, I didn't see that line. He does specifically say each coin is MS, he probably is under the mistaken belief that the plastic is the proof set.

FrattLaw · August 31, 2004 1:30AM

<< <i>he probably is under the mistaken belief that the plastic is the proof set. >>

Sure, I can see how someone could do that. Plastic wasn't even used in 1934, but hey not everyone can be a rocket scientist.

Unbelievable, and it is bid at over $150 now

bushmaster8 · August 31, 2004 1:39AM

Definitely fraudulent

Time for the coinguy1 last minute snipe!!!

dimples · August 31, 2004 1:56AM

WOW!!! A 1934 proof peace dollar Very rare bird

coinguy1 · August 31, 2004 2:41AM

I don't think the listing was necessarily fraudulent. I wrote to the seller, who thanked me, sounded sincere and said he would notify bidders of the mistake.

ziggy29 · August 31, 2004 2:52AM

It's also appears to be the first time this eBayer has been a seller instead of a buyer.

Shamika · August 31, 2004 3:41AM

I don't know about you guys, but my trigger finger is getting mighty itchy.

Conder101 · August 31, 2004 8:35AM

He does say in answer to questions askd that he did not intend to state that it was a proof set and that he wanted to change the description but a bid had already been placed so he couldn't. I told him that even though he can't change the description he can still add to it and make the correction that way. Now we get to see what he does.

Russ · August 31, 2004 8:41AM

He should simply cancel this auction. Any additions to it will likely not prevent it from selling for far more than it should.

IMHO, this seller is either very smart, or very stupid. In any case, the buyer is going to be very disappointed.

mgoodm3 · August 31, 2004 9:48AM

Those aren't shiny enough to be proofs. I want them shined up before I'll bid.

Bunker · August 31, 2004 1:34PM

IMHO, this seller is either very smart, or very stupid

Did anyone happen to read his "ME" Page?....

sliderider · August 31, 2004 1:44PM

Yup, it's a rarity all right. Something you may never see again, so save those pics to your hard drive.

Conder101 · September 1, 2004 1:00AM

Well he was told how he could still make corrections to the auction even though he can't revise the description and he hasn't chosen to do so.

(Seller has now added the questions asked that make it clear that it is not a proof set)

Hi,
I assume you mean in the storage of coins? Plastic was introduced long ago - the first man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes who publicly demonstrated it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. "Modern" high grade acrylics were introduced in the 1930's.

Best,
Billy

RonMan · September 1, 2004 2:35AM

Sorry, a little OT here.

Is this something new on eBay that the Q & A's are displayed on the auction page?

Ron

Conder101 · September 1, 2004 3:38AM

It is new, and the seller I belive has the option as to whether or not they appear. They were not there earlier today and are now so he must have added them. Since he has added them and they clearly state his reasons i will retract the statment I made earlier that it was an intended scam.
