Okay, this bogus auction for an Accented Hair is just flat weird.

  I just sent him a question to see if he could explain why an ICG Slab says PCGS on the Label.

  I sent him a question asking for actual images of the coin he's selling.

  "Would get the accented hair grade anywhere"
  
  Since when is "AH" a grade?

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  Please note that the coin has been "greaded "
  
  That must make it very special!

  Aside from the fact that it says PCGS and has a picture of an ICG slab, compare the image in the auction to this:
  
  
  
  He's using an image I shot several years ago of my PCGS PR65DCAM. He must have had it tucked away for just the right occasion to run a scam.

  Russ,
  
  If you're not interested in taking him up on his scam, how 'bout that $500 wooden pirate ship he also has for sale?

  Anyone could see that ICG coin is heavily accented.

  Interesting that the cameo only shows up when you take a big picture.

  Hey, at least he has the year right.
  
  I've seen dozens of auctions that claim their 1979 or 1985 or 1992 Kennedy is the accented hair variety but the grading company forgot to list it on the slab. Unreal.

  "The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."
  
  Is it really an error if it was intentional?

  The "error" was that he got caught.

  Scammers never seem to know how to "sale" right. Everytime they put something up for "sell", even if it's "greaded", something always goes wrong.

  Sorry to pull this slightly off topic, but can anyone explain the item he just listed?
  
  $20 conspiracy note
  
  Is this a thing that people look for? Is there a wholesaler selling "conspiracy" serial notes? What exactly would the conspiracy be?

  I think he must have made that up.

  He explains it all right there, 911 for you know what, 93 for flt 93 that crashed in Penn. 5 for crew members aboard said flight, and 2 for pilotrs flying the plane..... It is a conspiracy, and it's Dubya's fault!!!!!
