What do you think the odds are that this zero feedback seller has two perfectly identicle rolls of 16D Lincolns that both have the same AU/MS on the end??? One he sold on the 21st and ones hes selling now and ends on the 25th. I think hes pulling a fast one on somebody. http://cgi.ebay.com/1916-D-unsearche...QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/1916-D-unsearche...QQcmdZViewItem   01-25-2008, 02:57 AM   #2 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,562 look at the space before and after 1916 d its a hoax from an old template __________________ There is only one king   01-25-2008, 06:07 AM   #3 (permalink) Oldman Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 604 I would love to beleive that, but I dont.   01-25-2008, 07:15 AM   #4 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan.

Its for a mixed roll of cents or the possiblity of it being a solid date roll of 1916 d Lincolns. This is definite scam!! I have been seeing a lot of these type auctions and EBAY needs to get a hold of this crap soon!   01-25-2008, 11:39 AM   #7 (permalink) Victor Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Connecticut Posts: 1,355 Quote: Originally Posted by WoodenSpoon Boy Dont make us Little Rhody Guys gang up on you Would that be with or without the Mafia?   01-25-2008, 11:46 AM   #8 (permalink) cesariojpn Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 710 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by WoodenSpoon Boy Dont make us Little Rhody Guys gang up on you That didn't sound right.....   01-25-2008, 01:19 PM   #9 (permalink) DJP7x0s Sometimes Coins Arouse Me     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 1,154 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by clembo The seller is from Rhode Island what do you expect!? Sorry Dan I had to do that. clembo LOL, yea I noticed the Rhode Island Part. And if hes in Providence, hes not more than 25 to 30 minutes from me. And he must be even closer to woodenspoonboy. Maybe me and woodenspoonboy can go knock on his door and give him a pair of concrete shoes so he can swim with the fishes.   01-25-2008, 05:30 PM   #10 (permalink) WoodenSpoon Boy Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 336 Quote: Originally Posted by DJP7x0s LOL, yea I noticed the Rhode Island Part.

Thats like 5 minutes away. i have the concrete mixer in the back yard , you'll just need to provide the concrete.   01-25-2008, 05:35 PM   #11 (permalink) Phoenix21 *The King Of Jokes*     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: PA Posts: 8,924 My Mood: Man, that first auction has the longest sentence I've ever seen. One thing that points to it being a scam of some sort IMHO. Phoenix __________________ Working on becoming the next white rapper.

Anyhow, how much concrete do you think we need??? If were gonna sink him, we want to make sure its plenty enough to hold him down. Oh and as tempting as it might be, I say we refrain from writing out names in the concrete.   01-25-2008, 08:32 PM   #14 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan. Posts: 5,943 Rhode Islanders Now you guys KNEW I had to do that. LOL. Don't worry about sending the Mafia they can just call it in as we have plenty of them here. I'm 30 miles from Chicago. We have plenty of gangs too if you want to spice it up. Maybe I can send some your way to help you with your project. clembo __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   01-25-2008, 08:50 PM   #15 (permalink) kleraudio Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 126 Who knows, it "may" be legit?? Im noticing some big problems on Ebay, doesnt seem worth taking the gamble anymore, at least not for me as I have no clue what I'm doing yet. On a side note, where are you from Clembo?? I am in Tampa now, but I grew up in Des Plaines, moved to Gurnee and lived in Glenview for 6 years....
