Dumber than E-bay, undoubtedly.

Sadly someone will probably buy it.

 

I know nothing about ancients-- whats wrong with it?

 

From the pic itself the coin looks to be junk, No more then $5 in value & thats pushing it.

 

This is a heck of a bargain as well. Especially since they state there might be some key dats. $24 per dime is a steal!

I read that as $24 for each dollar worth of dimes (24x). Poorly written though.

 

Alright, thanks for sharing the knowledge

HA! I know THAT is a terrible deal at the least!

 

This thread got me browsing...Is this a good deal?

From what i can see theres no price provided

 

It says $25
JFK 30th ANNIVERSARY COIN SET $25

 

Reading it over it kind of makes sense now. Horribly written though.

 

Seller is asking for more than melt. Not a good deal.

 

OK Thanks

I agree now that I reread it. Not too bad of a deal, but very poorly worded.

 

Very bad deal on the dimes. You know there are know key dates since he said that. An I buy close to 1000 dimes a week for 20x face or could be worth it if dimes are old an xf shape or better

 

His ad is poorly written with way too many errors

150 dimes = $15
15 X 24 = $360.00

hes asking for $3600 so he really must be expecting $24 each. Unless of course he's confused and has 'mercury head' dollars AKA Morgans or some other nonsense cause they don't really know the terminology.

Who knows

 

I know there are no key dates.

 

Susan B's, make him an offer he can't refuse: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/clt/3577051003.html

Condition12..... Is that some kind of code or something?

 

Please, Just Read The AD Title

The AD title reads: "150 dollars mercury dimes - $3600"

which normally means: "$150 Face worth of Mercury Dimes for $3600"

or: "$150 Face of Mercury Dimes @ 24 x Face for $3600"

or: "1500 Mercury Dimes for $3600"

or: "Mercury Dimes @ $2.40 each"

I believe the AD title is self-explanatory, regardless of his inability to explain that each $1 face value of Mercury Dimes will cost the buyer $24 fiat.

I may be in error, but I believe he satisfactorily tried to explain. However, I've often tried to make matters too simple.
