    Well, if it stays around there, bidders are pricing it around MS65. Might be or might be MS64. We know, and hopefully the bidders too, that it is not MS68 according to most knowledgeable graders. I've bought a couple SGS slabbed Morgans on eBay -- ut paid for the grade I put on them and did ok. 1881-S is a coin that is not remarkable to find as a gem and is definitely not one that is commonly messed with. It is likely a perfectly fine uncirculated Morgan and maybe even a full gem. Personally, if I was *yawn* interested at all in the coin, I would have stopped arounf the 63/64 valuation. Such is eBay. Again, if it doesn't ramp up to multiples of the current bid, it is hardly the worst coin deal on eBay.

    I suppose so Coxe. You would think that bidders know not to go more than 64/65 on it.

    Less than 2.5 hrs to go and it hasn't reached the reserve yet. Maybe everyone will end up saving their money.

    I actually cannot believe that the seller placed reserves on this stuff. image

    He put a reserve on it because he overpaid for it. He is now trying to find a bigger fool to make his profit. Sadly, he probably won't find one.

    SGS is NOT the Sheldon Grading Scale.
    People are that dumb, though.

    I guess that gash across Ms Liberty's cheek keeps it from grading higher than MS68. image

    I wonder if I ask the seller to put me on his blocked bidders list, if he would do it. I'd hate to bid on something else of his.
  • mozeppamozeppa Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭
    thats not a 68!










    supposed to be a 70!......suspect its a counterfiet "SGS" slab...use caution!

    We bought a whole run of the first 35 Proof state quarters in both copper-nickel and silver in those SGS holders that the guy had paid something like $17,000 for from a telemarketer. We just busted them
    out and sold them as singles.

    I wonder if the seller believes the sh!t he's shoveling in that description!

    coins MS-63, MS-64 on a good day; sure as heck aint a MS-68 unless SGS has gone over to the 100 point system!

    Read the sellers negative and neutral feedback on Toolhaus - everyone is either a moron or an a$$h@le... Caveat Emptor.

    I've seen dew1111 shill bidding Abomb's auctions, must be one of Abomb's sock puppets.

    I even e-mailed him and asked him about the shilling, no reply.

    This coin has a market value of $21,450.00 to $22,500.00 in MS68 (Sources include Redbook, Greysheet, Coin Values, etc.)

    In a respectable TPG holder, not a SGS slab

    ....and which ones report MS68 values? I never see them and they don't make sense for 19th century coins anyway as they are thinly marketed.
