That (still nice) coin better come with a Hummer, and I don't mean a motor vehicle either.

Absolutely gorgeous coin with a BIG DING on the 'A' in "DOLLAR"
Once you notice that it tends to take away from it for me.
So close to perfect then DING!

No way.
No how!
The name is LEE!
<< <i>More gems from "grandfather's" inexhaustible supply of FDC's. >>
That typewriter picture is hilarious! Now what somebody needs to do is take that picture and list a 1920 Pilgrim (or some other coin and mock picture) in a featured auction right along side of an identical coin mct3015 is featuring--do a parody auction. That would educate potential bidders very quickly and provide an invaluable service to eBay buyers!

An old Royal typewriter from the 40's with half dried out ribbon might be closer to what mtc uses, not this Selectric, but it still gets the point across. The typewritten observations attributed to "grandfather" are merely a convenient way for mtc to make insinuations/claims about the coins, without the appearance of any of it coming directly out of his mouth.

I have to say it is a "great" con, and right now it is making him a heck of a lot of money. There's a bit of genius behind it that I admire in a kind of disgusted way!

I agree. It's all very well staged. The aged/distressed manila coin envelopes & old packaging, "grandfather's" typewritten "inventory" & the whole FDC "fleur de coin" thing (which he never bothers to explain, because he would rather have us believe it's some term that "grandfather" used that he's unfamiliar with). Also, let's not forget the various inferences that many of the coins may be proof's or presentation pieces.
Wait a minute.... He has 3 Negs since Feb and still shows 100%????
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
I wonder how many "2nd Chance Offers " went out ?
<< <i>All the BS and still 100% positive feedback...

He's managed to have all of them mutually withdrawn There are quite a few "negative positives", as well as buyers who added negative follow-ups to what had been positive feedbacks. Some of the feedback comments are just too strange.
As far as the bidder who won this coin for $121,251... I just noticed the most he's on record as spending is $14.99 for a video game, no previous coin purchases.

I agree, the whole thing is a genius idea. I doubt that commem actually sold for $121k, shill, advertising, something.
Tried contacting the winner, ebay wouldn't let me.
I need to pick up a typewritter, some used ribbon, for the aged effect, and some envelopes
The old coin game is to “sell the coin by selling the story.”
