Normally don't post EBAY threads...

But this time I have a question.

in this LISTING does the description show up as foreign characters for you? It does for me.

Just curious because if it does, it could seriously hinder the price on this silver eagle.

thanks

    I see it in English


    <<You are bidding on a super rare PCGS MS70 2008-W Silver Eagle with the reverse of 2007. These were accidentally released by the mint early in the run. It is estimated that 46000 or so were minted but who knows how many were actually released. Many are referencing the 1995 W Proof which sells for 35000 in Proof 70. This is a great investment coin with no ceiling as it is the highest grade that is possible from the toughest company on grading. You may find other 70's out there but PCGS is the leader in grading. I will ship with registered mail to ensure arrival to the right person. No new users to ebay or feedback under 5. In addition if you are not a confirmed address please do not bid or confirm your address before the end of auction. If you want shipping to Canada let me know in advance to get you an accurated quote. Any questions let me know.

    Happy Bidding!!!!!!!

    For some reason the insurance on shipping didn't appear. It will be sent registered mail for 15.70 to ensure proper delivery. Thanks again!!!>>

    Thanks garsmith, I'm on a work computer that normally works fine, but something is flaky. The seller's added info at the bottom comes across fine. The description is foreign though. Strange.

    It's English and an auction/seller I would likely avoid because of the "SUPER RARE" and the HUGE fonts.

    I love moderns, as many know, but even I wouldn't call it "SUPER RARE".

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    The main description is in the font face "times".

    Either that font is mapped to something bizarre on your system.

    Or that font is not present and the system is choosing a default font which is also bizarre.

    So you're fooling around on Ebay while at work, ay?
    Maybe your boss has farmed out his internet spying on his employees to a foreign company. Everything else is being farmed out to foreigners.
    What language is the description in?
