The heck? I buy it, and now it's up for sale again, something is not right here...

 

It doesn't look like an accident either. He clearly added the BIN feature to the new listing.

 

This is my favorite thread right now.

 

What a strange situation...

 

don't send your money order out man, scammer alerts are going off left and right

 

Do you guys think this is some sort of conspiracy or scam being perpetrated against Detecto?

 

Well, maybe it WAS a mistake.
This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

 

Don't feel bad, the SL quarter series is absolutely BRUTAL with rare dates. Only a billionaire or someone wishing to punish himself would wish to collect it by date/mm.

If someone DOES, let me know. I picked up a nice 69 S in XF in a pile of stuff a few years ago. Not as scarce as your piece, but any 1860's quarters are tough.

 

Just saying...he is the one with the quickest auction updates.........

Tim, most of these coins have been cleaned. Never worry about that. Its overly cleaned that is the problem. If you can, I would not buy this coin since its been harshly cleaned. You can find them easy enough not harshly cleaned, and I think long term you would like the coin much more.

Just my opinion, but collect what YOU like, not what others tell you to.

 

I have to agree, the seated liberty quarter set has to be one of the most challenging sets out there.

 

I emailed seller, here is what he said
Someone bid on it just seconds after I posted it and I thought eBay had a computer error; so I reposted it. Odd thing someone bidding that quickly and it caught me off guard. rick

Do you have the money to pay for this coin? I don't mean will you have the money to pay for the coin at some later date. Do you have the money to pay for this coin today?

 

Sell all your ancients and start up this challenge Chris! Then when you complete it, you get a shiny plack from PCGS.

 

But WHO would wish to buy any old ancient coins? Hmm, I wouldn't know where to try to sell them.

No, money's coming on Tuesday/

 

I never would have started a set...it was just having one all-star coin with tons of history that gets to me from time to time...Who touched that San Fran coin? How did it get SOOOOOOO worn down? What was bought with it? I'll try to see if I still have pics...

The good news is I have like 3 others from the 1860's...none as rare as the 1860-S, but a couple good ones.

I have an 1868 which interestingly enough had a mintage of 29,000...roughly 1/2 of the 1860-S. But the survival number is much higher than the other coin. So, I can find solace in having one other really rare seated quarter that I got for 3 bucks

BTW...these were in a huge 90% lot I bought sight unseen. Everything else was modern junk 90% save for a handfull of Barber Quarters...including a 1914-S 3 awesome finds amongst around 500 modern silvers. Oh, and the best "find" of all might have been getting that much silver when a silver quarter was 3 bucks!
