Scam?

I didn't think there was any PCGS Proof 70 1959 Washington quarters.Ebay Link

This guy is unbelievable. He ran this auction before, we reported him to eBay and they nuked it. He immediately relisted it without saying it was PCGS, and now he's back saying it is.

That makes sense, it's an upgrade candidate.

These ebay stories get better and better.....

I read the previous post where he had this coin listed. I have also just reported him.

It amazes me how stupid some people are... they say its PR70 in a PCGS holder... and its on a freakin counter....idiots.
Thanks for the heads up about this guy.

Oh yeah, I remember this seller -- he's helping a distraught family salvage their collection because dear old Grandad is "BREAKING OUT OF THE COINS FROM THERE HOLDERS."

No doubt the medical references will soon be adding "cracks open encapsulated collectibles" as another sign on the checklist for dementia.

What a maroon!!! (said with appropriate Bugs Bunny accent!)

How do you report questionable auctions?

JoeLewis · January 21, 2007 9:45AM

Anytime someone gives an explanation or story like that I immediately move on to the next auction. I really think these people would do better if they just stopped giving an explanantion.

I'm getting so tired of seeing the word "estate" in auctions. Does anyone really fall for that stuff?

Tyler1924S · January 21, 2007 10:06AM

This auction has it all! A coin that was once part of an "estate" & used to be in a PCGS PR70 holder. Only $4.99 to ship this quarter. Butchery of the English language and an elderly man who "was getting old" and "breaking out of the coins from there holders".
"Cameo Apperance"...L@@K!!! WOW!!!

Reported.

"now I am mentioning this..." O.K., I added the look & wow, but he should have used those.

Good laugh at that.

And thanks to those who posted and reported.
