Or do you think this is a scam and they'll send you some mercury dime coated in 24 kt gold?
Why would they send you a coin that would be worth more than the auction. It will be a tiny 8k replica and a gold plated coin.
did you ask the seller specifically? a gold coin could be 1/10 oz & that wouldn't cover the auction ... but if it's that plus the three silver you're close plus a few more ... several negative feedbacks in 6 months so looks like some research needed
yup. it could be a small Peso Gold coin, which is roughly 1.3 grams - which is only about 35$. Thats probably what it is.
Um... He never states gold COIN in every box just gold in every box! I can think on 100 ways to he could be technically accurate without putting a gold coin in the box! Maybe a gold SGS label. LOL Just my 5c worth.
You can get those 8k w/24k wash coins that are 1/4 in diameter for $5 that a silver eagle for $19, a morgan (1921) in F for $12 a peace common date worth $12 and the bulk made up in 2 digit buffalos and ag mercury dimes, with maybe a dateless SLQ. In other words probably $60 worth of stuff for $150. Like the shoping network, you buy you lose.
Questions about these types of auctions have come up quite alot in here. These type of auctions especially estate auctions that offer a lot of coins and state that you're getting a gold coin and a list of other goodies are always a scam and should be avoided. Someone who may not know any better may read the description and suddenly think "Wow" and without thinking (much), bid on and win the auction. Finding out only later that it was a total waste of money. Look at the sellers feedback. Just recently he had 2 neg. comments. One says "Overpriced, thought there would be more silver coins". What does that tell you.
It tells me that the buyer was probably being unrealistic in his expectations and he probably got exactly what the auction promised him.
