Does anybody find this suspicious?

or is it just me? I almost feel like he may be making his own sets! I just think it is odd that he buys one cent cheerios and then sells one with a Sacagawea.

Looks like good work. If you can get into it.

Must have access to heat sealing equipment.

The seller is in Sterling Heights, MI ( Detroit suburb - above Eight Mile Rd

).

This is the epicenter of AutoAmerica. Lots of parts suppliers in the area also. I seem to remember seeing some small auto parts and tools packaged very similar to the Cheerios Coins. Anyone want to bet this guy has heat sealing equipment at work?

it does seem more than a little strange. especially the money involved.
at some point it will come down to either only buying from the person that directly
pulled it out and can verify or rip them open and look at the reverse.
if this is a scam it's bad enough, but even more of a problem is the unsuspecting buyer, who
then later decides to sell to another and so on, until no one can trust these cheerios packs.

okay, I'm confused

I bought three of the Cherrios cents

that look like this

So am I to understand that the Sac was packaged with the cent and not by itself??

some, had the sac and cent. others like the one i got just had the cent. none to my knowledge
just had the sac only.

The photo of the legitimate Cheerios Dollar is from my website.

The seller's insurance rate is a wee bit high.... $6 per $100. So at $1,200, that is $72 to insure the shipment!

Suspicious indeed.

It seems too easy for a scumbag seller to fake that packaging. Plus the variety can't be varified since it is on the tailfeathers on the reverse.

Since ANACS (and maybe others) now certify the Cheerios variety/pattern it makes sense to only buy one slabbed.

The nice people at General Mills weren't making their packages tamper-proof, so I would think it would be pretty easy to repackage it with an ordinary Sac $1 - especially with a $1200+ markup

Looks like the seller stole that image from your website.

relayer · December 8, 2005 7:57AM

Yes, the seller stole the image of the genuine one and he has the blurry one of his creation.
The celophane doesn't line up correctly on his packaging - in the upper left corner his covers the "2000" completley. It's over too far to the left.

You guys are good. I don't know why the government doesn't use you guys to find and capture Bin Laden!!! Oh, I forgot. He's protected by our Saudi "allies".

Now he's got a Sony Handicam up for auction. I wonder if that item actually exists? It's a private auction. Scumbag.

I believe LegalCents is an agent for the government

<< <i>Auction was ended. Seller claims his life was threatened. >>

I'm thinking he decided it wasn't worth going to jail over as its obvious that there are two different photo's and its up into the felony range............

Does anybody find this suspicious?
