What is up with all the schmucks giving false information about platinum coins in their listings? I would think that the buyers, who can afford expensive coins, will use at least a couple of brain cells to research and find out what it is exactly they are buying... LOL 
What's up with that?
Here is an example on Ebay right now:
2004 $50 Platinum PCGS MS69. Ready for your Registry
Lowest plat. pop. half-ounce.& below PRICE REDUCED ! Item number: 280091932637
***** 2004 $50 (1/2 oz.) Platinum Stat. of Liberty *****
Graded a near-perfect MS69 by PCGS. Registry-ready!
Serious collector? New to Platinum? Working at building a Registry set?
Don't miss this opportunity to acquire this striking half-ounce platinum coin. Except for the full-ounce platinum Statue of Liberty,
this has the LOWEST POPULATION of ALL platinum coins, at 13,200 minted. Graded one below PERFECT by PCGS - the strickest

I'm thinking the recent sale of "upside-down" Washington $1 "errors" at $100 each has inspired a new wave of eBay scammer auctions.
"Let the buyer beware", has never been more true.
In the proof series it still is. Overall it is the 2006-W UNC. $50.

Are you sure? I see 280 MS70 2006Ws $50.00s-- I dunno what the MS69 2006W $50 population is.
For PR69DCAM 2004 $50s, I see pops of 169/16.
The mintages are as follows:
2006 W $50 Unc Platinum MS - 2,650
2006 W $25 Unc Platinum MS - 2,700
2006 W $100 Unc Platinum MS - 3,100
2006 W $10 Unc Platinum MS - 3,700
2004 $50 Platinum Proof - 4,886
2004 $25 Platinum Proof - 5,026
The ones the guy is selling on eBay are not even close to anything like that in mintage; are not the "Eagle over New England" as he describes; and, are not Reverse Proof...

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

I'm aware of the mintages--- heck, the 1893-S Morgan had 100,000 minted! But the seller isn't touting mintages, he's touting pops...
<< <i>Ops! This isn't where I parked my car. Kiyote I was looking at the wrong auction, sorry!!!
Stuff happens!
