    Why would someone sell something worth so much over ebay? I don't get it, but then again I've never used ebay.

    Free listing = free advertising.

    Both auctions are of the same coin.

    I don't know why anyone would by from DLRC on fleabay when you can go to their site and buy it quite a bit cheaper.

    It means it is a Branch Mint proof coin.

    Just a little bit further break down on that for me chief. I'm a little slow, please pardon my ignorance.

    So was it minted at a branch that didn't typically coin proofs at the time?

    Hey if you sold your rare error for $7,000,000 you could pick those two coins up with a million or two left to spare!:rolleyes:

    The only people who would buy from DLRC eBay would be people who don't know the DLRC brand name enough to realize there is a separate site that you can buy the same exact coins for less. So very casual collectors, stupid people (who don't spend 20 seconds on a Google search), and possibly very lazy collectors (people who know and BIN on eBay anyway)

    In fact, by coincidence I did that very thing 30 mins ago! Found a coin I liked on eBay for $140, saw it was a DLRC coin, went over to the site, made an offer and got it for even less than the DLRC list pricing. First coin I've ever purchased from DLRC. Great deal all around! Well, until my wife finds out anyway.

    Exactly. It was a proof minted at San Francisco instead of the usual Philadelphia.

    Except that they aren't really proof coins, just first strikes from brand new dies. But they call them proofs because they are Extremely rare, high grade, very expensive, and "sexy". (Like the 1913 V nickel these were not called proofs until somewhat relatively recently. They were Uncs, then MS and then a few of them became proofs, and now they are all proofs.) They appeared in the mint records as business strikes, were counted as business strikes, and specimens were submitted for assay as business strikes.

    DLRC auctioned off an 1894-S in 2004 as Part of the Richmond Collection of Auctions and the hammer price with BP was $1,322,500. NGC PF-66. Anyone know what the "BM" designation is?
