I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    I take it you don't buy the description...
    "Up for auction we have Silver Morgan Dollar 1880-P.The coin was in a cardboard form I removed to photograph. The coin came from the estate of a retired bank president in Lake Forest Illinois. The heir to the collection had little interest in coins so I am selling for the estate. The coins have been in a safe deposit for over the last 50 years. All the coins are the genuine article. "

    $46...image Those estate coins do go for some serious money...

    Where can I get me one them Dremels so I can make me up a few of my own estate dollars?

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

    Looks as if it has been mercury coated.... or highly polished by Brasso.... one thing for sure, if it has been in a box or drawer for 50 years, it has had a very active life since 'coming out'.... image Cheers, RickO

    Its gotta be the cool music and the clean shiny look of the coin!

    It almost looks re-plated.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    They are jewelers, and disavow any knowledge of coins. In a previous auction, they wrote "uncirculated?". When I pointed out that I would hardly sell zircons on eBay and call them "diamonds?" in my auction - that I would ask someone knowledgeable first - they replied that I must be an angry person image

    Eight bids.

    The frequency must be much greater now, it use to be one was born every minute. Are we looking at one being born every 15/30 seconds now?
