    What is this guy talking about?

    Everything this guy is writing in this auction is complete hogwash. A 1942 Walking Liberty Half is no key date, nor is it rare, and what kind of toning is on that coin. It would have to be the uglieast one I've ever seen. The coin is no better than VF and looks like someone poorly painted the coin.

    Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-WALKING-LIB...QQcmdZViewItem

    It already has a bid-this is unbelievable. This guy is just fishing for suckers. The sad part is that this coin may get up to $20-30 when all said and done. He's even charging $5.75 for shipping.
    Collecting the first fifty years of U.S. coins 1793-1843. All denominations and all grades.

    That does look like it was painted on! While the painter was drunk at that.

    A few things to remember, Certification and Attribution are Absolute and Definitive. Grading, on the other hand IS NOT. STRIKE is everything, be it strong or weak. Click here to enlarge

    That's exactly what i thought! lol, actually my exact thought was that someone had overdipped a well circulated coin and then smeared [human feces] on it.

    Sorry about the brackets above, but what i actually thought isn't so approriate.

    What a piece...

    Looks like someone will get a $20-$30 lesson in life. Too bad , maybe it was an original MS70 from SGS and the guy took out his displeasure on it !

    THE VERY LOW MINTAGE IS 47,818,000
    Wow, only 47 million, lol? Man that sounds rare to me.
