Anyone else notice the absolute mess Heritage made on eBay?

Dozens of miscategorized auctions with wrong descriptions & pics. If I was a big honcho there I'd be firing someone.

Yea... the seated half section is a serious CF. Must have just transferred over from Superior.

Bob Marino handled most of their ebay stuff not long go. Maybe someone else has the gig now. Funny, that I went through all the slabs tonight and didnt' see any seated halves from Heritage.

Looks like a fall inventory clearance sale.

I like this NGC MS67 1837 half dime the best. Killer look...just missing that certain something.........

1837 no stars MS67

These are listed under Large Cents. The photos are of Large Cents and 2 of them are graded by NGC

6507: 1909-S $10 MS65 PCGS. Pop: (P 15/5, N 6/4). Minta

6506: 1909-D $10 MS66 PCGS. Pop: (P 5/2, N 3/1). Mintag

SEVERLY annoying

Hey, at least they got the correct picture (if you can make it out) with that 1837 half dime. The 1792 half disme listed looks strangely like an 1878-S Trade Dollar:

it's a seated half,or is it?

michael · October 24, 2005 12:53PM

the photos are terrible

i feel sorry for any consignor that has wonderfully colored coinage

roadrunner · October 24, 2005 1:44PM

Michael, I'd bet these are not consignments but house coins picked up a blue sheet type prices at shows, etc. Routine product in holders looking for homes. It would be nice if you could see what the coin looked like before bidding.

There might be some truth to this comment. At least as far as Mercs are concerned. Most of the better dates are in 5XXXX holders. Also some stuff is in 3XXXX and 9XXXXX holders. These are terribly overgraded coins, in general, that reside in these holders.

You can probably buy them for very little because in essence you're just buying a piece of plastic.

eBay has acknowledged that the posting of our Palm Beach auction was done incorrectly on their part. They are working on fixing it on their end.

In the meantime, we'd like to invite you to see all the lots in this auction on our website, www.HeritageCoins.com. Here, the lots are posted in proper order with the correct images. Also, if you win a lot by bidding through our site (or anywhere other than on eBay) you will pay 5% less in buyer's premium than if you win the lot through eBay.

I dunno. There's a 35-S Buffalo that has a BIN of $700 or bid start at $625. There own price guide has it at $470.

There are pages and pages, under Barber halves, that are all screwed up (wrong image with the description).
