Probable eBay rip available to first bidder -- 1874 gold $1

jonathanbjonathanb Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭✭✭
I bet this 1874 gold $1 is a steal at the BIN price of $120, but the seller won't take PayPal and the cost (and annoyance factor) of dealing with a bank transfer puts me over the edge. Maybe someone else here wants to take a shot. Greysheet for XF is $150, and while the picture is lousy it sure looks at least XF to me.

If someone here does snag it, I'd love to see a real picture when it arrives.

  • Interesting. I might be interested except I can't read the seller's negative feedback because it is in Italian!
  • Too hard to authenticate at a distance.
  • Two sayings come to mind


    A) If it looks too good to be true , it is.

    B) It's easier to cheat a greedy man than an honest one.
  • I wouldn't buy it even with your bank account number, Jonathan...

    1A UGLY EXPERIENCE ON EBAY AFTER 137 OK. CUSTOMER SCORRETTO INAFFIDABILE ATTENTION!

    vende a un prezzo e poi se ne scopre un altro ovviamente superiore

    it sells then to a price and if of it it discovers a advanced other obviously

    ATTENZIONE! Non ho concluso la trattativa. Il 1018 non funzionava!!

    ATTENTION! I have not concluded the negotiation. 1018 did not work!!

    Sellers reply to the last

    non e' vero, sei tu che non hai controllato lo stato di carica della batteria

    not e' true, six you that you have not controlled the state of it loads with the battery

    Well that was a very clear reply
