Which coin do you think he is going to send? ebay lot

Do you think the pics are two different coins and which one do you think you would get if you won? Or is he trying to make his look better by putting pics of the nicer one up next to it?

  • Looks to possibly be the same coin taken with different cameras. IMO On the other hand he may be trying to give you a comparison to go by.image Email him and ask him which coin he will be sending.

    different coins -- one has a hit on the nose, one does not

    Hmmm. Raw classic gold on Ebay. Not for the faint of heart, methinks.

    Maybe he'll give you a pick of which one you want image


    The more important questions are:

    Are you the same Gummibear at the top of the World Series?

    If so:

    What coins are you doing so well on in your portfolio?

    Don't worry; it will just be between you and me. I won't tell anyone image

    Yes. I am the same gummibear. I made some on some proof morgans and some proof buff nicks. But I will not be on top when the prices for Charlotte come through. I wish I got the 1920s $10. Whoever has that will probably win this quarter. But I do have some very nice ones that might keep me in the game.
  • They are not the same coins! If you compair the stars under the chins you will see that the bottom coin has a seventh arm on the star and the top coin doesn't. The nick on the noise already mention is also missing from the top coin! The date of when the photos were taken could be the reason the nick is in one photo but not the other. But you can't change that star! Also the "4" in the date isn't under the hair lock as far as it is in the top photo. I hope that helps as the auction is ending soon! They are definatley two different coins! Which one do you want?

    different coins. Second Star up on the left has an extra arm.


    my guess is that he's trying to sell the what looks to be the raw one. The other one with the white background looks to be in a NGS holder because the rims are covered up on the right side on the coin. Otherwise you could compare the rim nicks.

  • Reserve not met! It didn't sell!

    If you look at back or the two coins, the middle arrow touches the bottom arrow on the top coin but not on the bottom coin!

  • You know the more I look at those two coins, they don't look anything alike. I'm not an expert here!

    Are these two different variations of the same coin or is one of them a fake?

    Well, I'm not going to get the coin because I didn't meet the reserve.

    Oh well, there will be others.
