    Much as I hate misrepresentation, "Caveat Emptor" applies here. Natural selection will take care of fools' money, methinks.

    Natural Selection has always been such an interesting part of evolution. Now as a society plays its natural selection seems to happen much less frequently.

    Better yet, check out her 1889 Proof Morgan. image

    It's graded 650MPL. I think she meant 65 DMPL but if that were true then it wouldn't be a proof, now would it?

    I have no idea who her "appraiser" is, but he probably needs a seeing eye dog.

    I'm tempted to send her an email and try to educate her, but not sure if it's worth it.

    Clearly she doesn't have a clue about coins and has no business running these auctions. I get the imporession that she's not really a scammer, but she's been given some very bad advice by one. She may have gotten taken on these coins with a "great deal" from that appraiser.

    That 1901 grades no better than XF at best, much less MS65. Poor Miss Liberty looks like she lost a box cutter fight on that one. Even the reverse wreath and letters are worn flat. Looks very much like my ACG MS65 Morgan that I carry around for laughs at shows.

    My mind is blown...

    $200+ is a lot of $$$ for that coin - unless it is a double die. Can anyone tell if it is? It would be funny if the buyer had the last laugh...

    Leave the seller alone, you are just jealous you are not making money from FOOLS!!, Think about the last car you bought, you lost about $3k when you drove it off the lot. I won't but no coins from this seller unless he has MS 69 Morgans. UNVALEEABLE DONTE.

    But...but...

    the appraiser says it's "excellant" and "uncirrulated"??

    Why the worry? You're all skeptics...

    I'm bidding right away!!!

    I've never seen that before! If I wanted everyone to know what a reserve was I would put it in my auctions. Why would eBay do that?

    Check out the 1881-s listed as XF, actually is UNC. Too bad someone went to town on it with a brillo pad.

    This "guy" is apparently a woman whose mother died. She was left with some coins she knows nothing about and got bad information from an "appraiser". Help, rather than ridicule, would be nice.image

    I've done just that. We've shared a few emails so far. they are going to get some proper pictures to me.

    It does seem her mother was taken by a scam dealer. This one feels right. She and her husband really just want a little help.

    PontiacinF, interesting GIF there. I first saw it over a year ago, I see it's made the rounds.

    I know the person who made that one and where it was done. There is actually quite a bit more to it along with the music background.

    'Tis an interesting situation. While I feel for her, at the same time I wonder what it is that makes people believe that, if they admit that they know nothing after the fact - or are working on second hand information - that they have the right to represent themselves as though they do in fact know smoething in order to make a sale?

    It's a little like dealing with teenagers - they know everything, and even delivered evidence to the contrary they will argue their positions for hours. But make the outcome negative where they will pay a meaningful price for their ignorance and they'll back down instantly, disavowing any knowledge of the subject.

    In business, it's called holding yourself out as an expert... Once you do it, you can't back up later and claim ignorance. What is it about Ebay that disconnects people from basic responsibility? If she sold you a Ferrari that she said was brand new, and the mechanic told her that it ran great - but when you got it the engine was missing... Is she still responsible?

    No, ridicule isn't the answer... I just don't know that enabling the behaviour is the answer either.
