Sorry, I am not good making links....

If the coin is actually an 1880-O...yes...but I think his description pretty much leads you to believe he doesn't always include the actual picture of the coin....so I would say the going rate for an 1888-O in MS64 is around $50

1888-0 PCGS MS64

DennisH · June 8, 2005 9:30AM

Wow! Then you paid $43 for a $1300 coin.

Then yes.....rip central

There is no coin Santa Claus and no way will he sent you a MS64 1880-O. Anyone that believes that is day dreaming.

coinguy1 · June 8, 2005 9:33AM

I would notify the seller - you'll hopefully feel and sleep better that way, even without the windfall.

TerrapinWill · June 8, 2005 9:35AM

Russ, you know as well and I that sellers get their photo urls mixed up all the time on the bay.

Wolf359 · June 8, 2005 9:44AM

Will, no one believes you. Post a new photo of the coin you received and make us liars.

TerrapinWill · June 8, 2005 9:46AM

The question i am hoping to have answered is that if the coin Rec'd was the EXACT coin in the picture.....what would you do?

ddbird · June 8, 2005 9:49AM

Notify the seller...worst case he takes the coin back, you feel better, and he may slip ya something nice for free. Least thats what I would do.
It was his mistake and he should compensate for it, but not 2k.

GAT,

He already stated he received the 1880-O pictured in the auction.

I'm confused what was the cost and what was recieved? The 88-O is a $40 coin, I paid a bit over a grand for a high end 80-O even in NGC 64. There is no Santa but what gives?

The listing title said PCGS MS64 1888-O and the coin brought $43.

But, the image contained within the listing was of a PCGS MS64 1880-O and the coin received by the buyer was an 1880-O which matched the image. Therefore the buyer received a coin worth in excess of $1000, for which he had paid $43.

I wonder if someone else won and paid for an 1880-O and is going to receive or has received an 1888-O?

morgannut2 · June 8, 2005 10:51AM

The buyer has no ethical obligation to inform the seller on Ebay, of what his opinion of value might be. Why? The price was set by the marketplace-auction. However, I would feel on ethical obligation to myself to Email the seller and make certain that the actual 1880-O recieved was in fact the coin that the seller intended to auction. If there was a case of confusion or error, I'd offer to return the item. However I'd wouldn't have bid on an 88-O to begin with, without first finding out if that was what I'd get. Frankly it seems more like a bait-and-switch auction, temping greedy bidders to pay a little extra on the lottery chance of buying an 80-O for peanuts. But you never know these days----

I would agree but for the fact that in this case, the buyer says he actually RECEIVED the 1880-O ($1000 plus coin) pictured.

morgannut2 · June 8, 2005 11:19AM

Thanks for clarification Coinguy1--I'd feel obligated to confirm via email the 1880-O with serial # XYZ PCGS was the item sold and recieved, and was the one transacted for by my auction bid of $43 on that auction number. You might want to punch in the # at PCGS to affirm that it isn't stolen from a registry member as well.
