1842 C Half EagleFor those joining too late to see the auction, it features a blurry photo that appears to show someone holding a gold half-eagle in his bare hand. Starting price: $32,000; BIN $36K.I'm almost tempted to write him saying that it looks like there's something smeared on the coin, and asking him to try polishing it with his shirt and posting another photo. But it might be a legit coin, so I guess I won't.
gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! gotta bid! or not.
Even if I didn't know not to hold a valuable coin in my hand to take the picture I would at least know that the quality of that picture is a joke for something I am asking someone to pay 32,000 for. I mean really?
