THIS COULD BE AN S BUT IT HAS THE RIGHT POSITION FOR A "D" THANKS" So, it, once again, is the buyer's stupidity that rules. Here's my version of "Let's be fair" - it is obvious to those who know what a genuine 1916-D dime should look like that the coin in question is not one. The seller should not have listed it as a 1916-D and appears to be looking for suckers. He can use disclaimers all he wants, but he knows or should know better.   01-31-2008, 01:17 PM   #49 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 3,806 My Mood: "Item has been removed or is no longer available" !   01-31-2008, 03:06 PM   #50 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,658 Quote: Originally Posted by 900fine "Item has been removed or is no longer available" !

But I do have a couple of extra 1964 D Peace dollars that I can spare.

Now does ebay send an email to all the bidders on this fake coin to let them know what's going on? Or will the seller be able to contact the high bidder and make up some untruthful story to try to get them to buy the coin at their last bid? hmmmm   01-31-2008, 06:03 PM   #57 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,658 mr merc: Sadly all that the bidders get is a notice that the item was removed. No explanation, no statement that the seller was -- well, to put it nicely, wrong. And nothing to stop him the next time. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   01-31-2008, 06:04 PM   #58 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,668 Quote: Originally Posted by mr merc Good job and thanks to everyone who helped get this fraudelent listing removed!

Cool, I'll take the peace dollars.   01-31-2008, 06:15 PM   #60 (permalink) mr merc Senior Member     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 193 Well that's to bad, I've just got a feeling this person may try to do something else dishonest. It's still a credit to all the honest people on this forum that helped stop the auction.   Page 4 of 5 < 1 2 3 4 5 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags mercury, mercury dime, mercury dimes Would you like to support CoinTalk?
