What's the most expensive coin on eBay?

as far as I know, the most expensive coin on eBay is a 1900 IHC struck by error on a planchet for a 1/4 Eagle (gold obviously). only for a cool 600K. Is there any coins on eBay more than this? if you find one please post a link.

It's a penny on dime!!! He's got an "awesome" story to go with it that you can probably find on at least 100 different threads here. :rollling:

 

Here's an expensive coin on eBay. Not over $100K. But for the money, I'd take this one at a cool 62 grand:

Honestly "LOL'd" at the rolling-eyes emoticon in this situation.

Wow! That really is an awesome story!

 

What a greedy *******.

 

Yep... old Redwin is a little "over-the-top". A cool 10 million BIN might be a little high, but the opening bid of 8.5 mil is reasonable, LOL.

 

I'd pay face value for that coin.. what, 11 cents.

 

Yep... you get the complete history whether you want it or not.

 

Redwin you should focus your attention on writing fairy tales.

 

wow, and

I think if a person can pay 8.5 Million for a coin, that person probably has a private jet and can fly to USA to get that one of a kind coin.

 

The first few times it was cool. Now it's nothing but spam in my opinion.

 

Highest priced coin in the US section (other than the 11 cent piece), and with a serious price is

The finest known 1797 eagle at $750,000 BIN with free shipping.

 

I love it. No returns or exchanges but it's covered by Ebay protection - I wonder if he'd consider an offer of 7 million. Hah. Isn't this what would happen if you stuck a dime in the penny minting machine instead of a regular blank. And oh such a vintage item - at least 16 years old.

 

The term "Nut Cake" comes to mind......

 

To the OP, I simply don't think "the most expensive coin on Ebay" is really relevant. All you will get is grossly overpriced stuff that will never sell. "Expensive Ebay" is an oxymoron like "military intelligence", they just don't go together. Ebay is more day to day stuff, expensive coins are sold at traditional auctions or private treatise. Someone with a truly valuable coin would not risk it at a true auction on Ebay.

Btw, for full disclosure I am a vet, so I wasn't meaning to pick on our troops. I think they would get the laugh at the phrase "military intelligence". Ita about as funny as the phrase "friendly fire", which isn't very dang friendly.

 

I was gonna say "at least the guys behind friendly fire are not trying to kill you on purpose. But after a bit more thought, I think sometime they are, or could be anyway. Still, I agree, it's not friendly when it happens. lol

 

There's also Collateral Damage because of some ebay sellers.

 

The question is more like what is the most expensive coin on eBay that has actually sold?

What is the highest priced item that has thoroughly duped and bamboozled the buyer?

What are credit card limits in purchases and fraud management, very unlikely that any high ticket item is going to be a CC transaction?

What is the most expensive item on Ebay that has foiled their fraud detection network and sold?

I can think of a lot of made up "varieties" that you could run there hoping for suckers to bite.

In my experience, big money rarely gets duped and if it does it is hopping mad for revenge.

 

Highest price for an actual sale in the past thirty days is an 1857 gold dollar in MS-67+

There have been pieces that have sold for more and I think there has been a legitimate single coin sell for over $100K
