seller is in Sri Lanka, coin in that grade would cost the same as a new Porsche, seller didnt include CC nor Carson City in title, description reads like it was lifted from Wikipedia
all this spells hijacked account or some other type scam

Tom, the coin has two little c's on the backside. The pick is of the only known MS65 Carson City dollar from 1873.
Value would be in excess of $750,000. Yes, he found a keeper and doesn't even know to use the proper description!
Reported.

right on the reverse side of the coin. im not sure on bidding on this and should be reported for good measure
Pic provided is a CC, and appears to be AU or better.
Raw coin, high dollar key date, no returns, from a Sri Lankan seller, hmmmmmm.
Recipe for a screwin!

I knew I could find this pic on the web. Someone out em.
Did he really think he could pull this off? Another slam dunk for the CU boards.

Coin is a NGC AU55. Wonder why he or she doesn't include a pic of the slab?
EDIT: Auction: 2008 April Rosemont, IL (CSNS) Signature Coin Auction #1104
Possible the seller was the winning bidder, doubt it though
Wonder how long it takes for them to nuke it
What better way to bait suckers than to fail to note the coin is a "rare" CC.

bob
I wonder what you'll recieve?
EDIT: Anyone know who actually owns this coin?
Sold April, 2008 @ Rosemont, IL (CSNS) Signature Coin Auction
<<I am gonna bid no more than $1500. Fingers Crossed!!!! If I win, do I get a "you suck?" >>
I believe you would receive a "you sucker" award, there is no coin.
Dear yasith1990,
Is this coin slabbed? If it is, can you provide a pic of this high dollar key date coin in it's slab? Thanks,
Scott
Dear airflow89,
This is not a perfect slabbed original coin. This is a commercial used coin. However Thank you for your interest.

Ok, so he is saying it isn't slabbed or original, but it is slabbed, I checked the cert #.
So I guess the winner will receive a duplicate, and a screwin.
Some additional info from another Ebay member:
1873 CC S$1 AU 55 NGC 3122719-006 which sold for $48,875.00 on Apr 17, 2008
Here's the link to the actual coin. It's been reslabbed, now resides in a 4 prong holder.

Crap like this only hurts the hobby I love.
Scott
EDIT: Asked the seller if he could provide better pics while holding it.
He tells me it's not slabbed and has wear. So maybe he actually
particiated in the April 2008 auction, then cracked out a $50k coin
to list on Ebay, with Heritage pics, raw, LMAO.
