I can't smell it but it sure looks fishy.

 

Bidding started at .99....

 

Listed in his other items is a 1895 O Morgan for $15. I mean, come on . Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure this one out! It just amazes me eBay permits this type of crap.

 

Alibaba!

 

Yep, direct from the forty thieves.

 

He is a brand new eBay seller with no history. Maybe his name says it all? Oneofaki, really?

 

Rub the bottle and ask him...

 

Does anything ever happen if you report these listings?

 

If anything it only resembles wack a mole.

 

Granted the nickels look too clean, and normally there should be no criticism for someone setting the opening bid on an item at 99 cents and letting the market set the price. But a low mintage coin with such a low price makes one wonder....

 

Sometimes.

 

There are people on the CCF forum that get stuff whacked right away. I'm not sure what connections they have. For us common folk it seems random whether something I flag ever gets removed, so there might be a threshold number of reports or something.

 

look for the tiny P mint mark-
for Peking

 

Doesnt accept returns. That should tell you something!

 

His 21-S looks like the obverse was inserted into the reverse.

 

Great observation Mountain Man, Thank you.

 

Thanks, please don't refer to me as Mountain Man. I don't artificially tone coins.

 

I think he was referring to me and I've never attempted to tone a coin so please get your facts straight.

 

huh?
That accusation sure came outta nowhere, and I've never seen anything to substantiate it.
