Talk about a crazy junk lot! Normally I'd think there is no way that coin would be genuine sold in that fashion; but this seller is truly a wild card as I've made some crazy finds in his lots. I'd personally never dream of risking that much, but it also could be a major win for the buyer. What do you all think? Victory or Death?
Just to be clear, I did not win nor did I bid on this lot.

<< <i>you don't think that 1901-S in the group is real? >>
I honestly don't know which is why I wondered what others thought. If the bidder of that lot was on these forums, it would be nice if he could follow through with pictures and certification so we could find out.
I have purchased a lot from this seller with a dateless 1916 slq which is genuine. I paid $300 for that lot, but the final bid of $2,500 on this lot is on a whole different playing field, and the 1901-s quarter is much more scarce than the 1916 slq. However, it's quite a steal if that 1901-s is genuine in my opinion. Would you have risked it?

7 Day return option hopefully paid with a CC.
This lot may have been bought at spot and now sold for thousands...in that case, the seller is a winner also. They might have been standing around the monitor scratching their heads....what's going on with this auction that should be selling for 50 bucks?

<< <i>Also not out of the question is the seller just assembled a 20 coin lot (seller had previous auctions of 20 Barber quarters) and had no idea the 1901-S was a key coin, heck, maybe a non-numismatic assistant put the auction together.

Ive also bought from that seller before. Return address actually says THR. Im 99% sure they are part of Treasure Hunters Roadshow. Often times the amount of items they buy is too much for them to check for every single date. They buy in bulk and often times sell in bulk, leaving many of their lots with key dates such as these. How do you all think i got the 1921 SLQ...same seller
Need I say more?

I've also had luck cherrypicking lots from this seller. They sell under several names but the auctions all have the same general look and feel. About a month or so ago they sold a couple of bulk lots of Seated Dimes with key or semi-key dates which also realized strong prices.
