    Lots of "big" things in that auction. Hey, let's do a "deal from the car!" image
  • The bin price is $18,950 for 10,000 coins. But wait! They listed 5,000 coins for only $7,950. Somebody better jump on it before they discover their mistake!image

  • I took the time to really look at the feedback from one of these "power sellers" a few months ago.
    With over 10,000 positives, it took a bit of searching to find what I thought I would.
    A negative was invariably followed by one "buyer" adding 25-30 positives in ONE MINUTE.
    This essentially buried the negative so it didn't show up on the first page.
    There were many more neutrals than negatives. These were more negatively worded than
    many of the true negatives. Even some positives were less than luke warm or could have been
    marked as negative. Lastly, I saw many with "mutual withdrawal" of feedback. I think that practice
    is a sad sign that eBay is going too far to provide an out to their "power sellers".
    2 or 3 of the negatives stated that the seller sent a message with the coins that any negative
    feedback left by the buyer would get the same from him.
    Enough said.

    I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.

    I would be inclined to automatically return it with a note stating
    that any negative from him would get the same from me.

    PCGS nomenclature. Series 31 is the mercury dime series while the 16-D is "coin 2" or the second coin in the series after the 16-P which is "coin 1".

    No such thing, you have to assume every roll, every hoard, every estate, is heavily searched.
    If I had millions of Merc's I would certainly spend the time and search for the keys. You know 42 P&D overdates, rpm's, and so on.

    Not a chance. Even the guy from the south side of Chicago would have put that date in that album if there ever was one there.
