Does this mean I should get mine graded? Believe I'll pass. lol. jws

DennisH · July 16, 2006 3:00PM

How absurd.

It means there are too many people in the world with too much money.

ms70 · July 16, 2006 3:04PM

Hey, it's in an old green holder. Maybe it'll upgrade!

ILikeMercs · July 16, 2006 3:34PM

$250 shipping?............pass

19Lyds · July 16, 2006 4:00PM

H-m-m-m. Definitely a blurry picture and perhaps its was graded on Christmas Eve?

I'm thinking that if I had that kind of money to toss around on MS70's that I'd be collecting something else!

BECOKA · July 16, 2006 4:39PM

The MS series is really tough. If you are competing on the registry there are only 12 MS70's in 20 years. It's going to be expensive but someone will buy it.

Although the reserve has not yet been met.

BECOKA · July 16, 2006 4:40PM

I did not see a reverse picture. I wonder if it has a minor milk spot which would make the MS70 grade null and void.

Coxe · July 16, 2006 4:43PM

Let's see which registry retard bought this. More money than brains.

ER · July 16, 2006 4:55PM

I see no problem with people paying moon money for it.

Ain't my money.

Myqqy · July 16, 2006 4:57PM

I think it's worth at least $12.....

rec78 · July 16, 2006 5:09PM

And the reserve is still not met?

wonder what the reserve is?

Coxe · July 16, 2006 5:14PM

<< And the reserve is still not met?

Oh, I didn't realize the auction was still in progress.

I see the high bidder's first bid was retracted. He put in an extra 7. That would have been an interesting *whoops* had he not noticed it.

Retracted: US $77,750.00
Explanation: Entered wrong amount

rec78 · July 16, 2006 5:16PM

My guess is that he did that on purpose to find out the reserve.

pf70collector · July 16, 2006 6:44PM

NGC's go for that also. I only wish I bought a 1996 MS 70(only 3 million minted and lowest mintage of the series) on Teletrade last year for $400.00.

MS70's in this series are extremely difficult to locate = Extreme $ $ $

I sure hope that shipping charge includes insurance, I am not sure how much FedEx Standard Overnight shipping costs

ziggy29 · July 16, 2006 10:20PM

The 1895 Morgan has only about 3/4 an ounce of silver and sells for a lot more than that.

kranky · July 16, 2006 10:21PM

I guess the coin couldn't stand on its own merits, there had to be some hype added... "Rumor has it that this coin was taken by a die changer from the mint." Oh, please.

GRANDAM · July 16, 2006 10:34PM

Sad to say, but you're "spot on" in that observation.

Prethen · July 16, 2006 11:35PM

Lovely. The holder added about $10,085 worth of value. That's some valuable piece of plastic! There are those that pride themselves on enwrapping bullion and common coins in very expensive plastic.

OffMetal · July 16, 2006 11:40PM

Let's put it this way...

THE SHIPPING IS MORE THAN I'D BE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE COIN.

19Lyds · July 17, 2006 5:44AM

Well, I am a little confused here since this particular coin does not show up in auctioncrunchers store inventory. All 26 pages and no 1988 SAE. Do a Search on it in the store and it comes up in the middle of some auctions that end in 6+ days.

Could this be a bogus auction?

uofa1285 · July 17, 2006 9:18AM

Obvious shill action with the top two bidders...take a look at the handles and histories and it will become apparent.

ledzep87 · July 17, 2006 12:18PM

What do you think? I asked the seller if he could post-or send me-a pic of the reverse, this was his reply:

<< I would love to, but I cannot do so at the current time. The coin is actually my uncle’s and I am just selling it for him as a favor. You can see that coins are not what I normally sell. I took a few pics of the back, but they were so blurred I could not use them in the listing. My uncle has the coin locked in a safe deposit box and is out of town for a few days. I will contact him as soon as he is back and we can get any pictures you want.

Thanks!

Strange, he did a very nice job with the obverse image.

What a rip...someone retracted their bid of 77,000 dollars.
Then the sellar said no refund on the $ 249 shipping if returned and to beat that they also will charge a 20 % restocking fee.
This person is nuts....Who said crime does not pay.....
We have a few on this forum and on ebay....How can people sleep at night and treat people like this..
thanks
