Now that is one worth bidding on... Then sending to NCS.

 

I won't be bidding because the seller states:
RARE Error! Super nice MS condition 1955 DDO! Lots of remaining mint luster!

 

What's your point?

 

He's lying right there. It's not MS and I don't see any luster. Not that bank-wrapped rolls have anything good in the inside anyways, but I'm surprised to see the key date there. Wonder if It's authentic.

 

O

ohhh I didn't see the MS part, just the remaining luster.
I think I can see some red luster left deep in the protected areas.

 

Heh. Managed to find a 55 DDO with some corrosion on the front, and a totally trashed reverse? Here's the way to maximize your profit! "I can't show both sides of the coin -- it's a bank wrapped roll! I know, because I rolled it up myself with my own bank wrapper! Look, it's got a 55/55 on one end and a BU 55 on the other end -- that means that every coin in the roll has a 50% chance of being another 55/55!"

 

Looking at it a second time, I see a very minimal amount. Not close to "lots of"

 

and that's how to make a decent profit the UN-legitimate way. It's sad how many people are fooled.

 

give me a break

 

Look at some of the recent neutral feedback and it appears to be the same old "rare" roll listing. Creme on the ends, crap in the middle.

 

With eBay's new rules protecting the buyer, what is there to lose? Get it, send to PCGS, if it's a Chinese fake then file a claim with ebay and get your Paypal back. Win win, except for the hassle!

 

I wouldn't be so sure ever since ebay disbanded the coin fraud department.

 

Just like every OBR on feeBay!

 

Wow. How unusual!

A fully lustered 1955 Cent on one end with a well circulated 55/55 Fake DDO on the other end!

It has to be fake since even a damaged 55/55 has significant value.

Right?

 

You say fake. What makes it a fake aside from your "logic"?

 

How is it fake?

 

Nah. It'll get bid up well beyond the usual going rate for a damaged 55/55. Just like the cent rolls that, by an amazing coincidence, feature a gold quarter eagle on one end. (I mean, we all know that most cent rolls have a least one or two quarter eagles inside the roll, but having it on the end is a real find!)

Problem common raw quarter eagles can go for under $200, and usually go under $250; "unsearched original bank rolls" with a quarter eagle on the end never go for less than $300, and a couple have recently brought more than $700.

The pool of suckers, er, buyers for the OBR scam is by no means anywhere near tapped out. All you have to do is get over the whole ethics thing. Search eBay completed/sold auctions to find the people who have mastered it.

 

Just my logic.

By that, I mean who in their right mind would seed an obvious put together roll with a $1,000 coin? Even in crap condition, a genuine 55/55 attracts a LOT of interest.
And we KNOW that this fellow is putting this stuff together with precise heads/tails coins. Given that, he's a cheat. A Cheater. A Deceiver which makes him a liar!
Openly trolling for a sucker who probably won't know the difference until an attempt is made at selling the coin.

The last time I checked, 55/55 weren't being found in $50.00 bags of coins which means that they usually have to be purchased.

Coin Sellers don't usually run the risk of "losing" on something like this as they'll always go for the sure thing. The only "sure thing" I see is a probable fake coin.

I know. It's weak logic.

 

You have a whole lot of assumptions there without any backup. I cannot see the tiny tells for a 55 DDO, but everything I see says that is real. As to who would sell such a coin as a roll, lots of people selling rolls and particularly someone who has a 55 DDO with a corroded reverse.
