Aside from it being listed as a trade dollar, it looks like a a AG-G Scratched and cleaned 1926-S Mercury dime worth about $1 or $2.
That vendor on eBay is obviously an idiot.They should be reported for fraud.Even I know that's a Mercury Dime,& I don't even live in America. Aidan.
http://cgi.ebay.com/washington-quar...957QQihZ015QQcategoryZ524QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I'm pretty sure this is fake. Notice how the "second strike" has the letters reversed...is this a "squeeze job?"
What's the betting on whether he responds to this "question to seller" sent from a throwaway ID? He is a real winner.
Roy,a real winner alright - for 2nd Place in the eBay Idiot of the Year Award! First Place goes to 'estatedoctor' - Pamela 'Pjd1966' Donnelly the Savannah Scammer & her teddy bear! Aidan.
What a cracker jack!!! I sent him a message asking him if he knew the difference. Did any of you look at the rest of his listings? Looks like he's cleaned them all with a brillow pad. Its people like that that needs to be held down and beat.
I think this coin was triple struck with a diesel locomotive! http://cgi.ebay.com/washington-quar...957QQihZ015QQcategoryZ524QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
If you look at his other auctions, he has other Mercury Dimes listed. So he knows what they are. I wonder why the screwy listing?
I sent the high bidder an e-mail and 'splaned it to him. Don't have time to notify everybody. Update-he wrote back: Hello! Thanks a bunch for a headsup I had looked at the coin and thought ut was kind of strange, it had looked like it was hammered together. Thus I only bid 11.00 bucks I figured if it was a fake/bad coin it would not be bad as far as money goes. Again thank you very much for the heads up. TJ PS the reverse letters to a trained eye you know it when you see it. thanks again
2000 P DOUBLE OBVERSE SACAGAWEA DOLLAR ERROR NR Item number: 20006677911 Check out this one, a double die? This is only strike doubling.
my golden rule now for coins on ebay: only buy the ngc and pcgs slabs on ebay. if its not slabbed, I dont buy it on ebay. although loose coins, whether on ebay or at a show, the dealers often are not trying to screw you. they often honestly believe the coin grades what they say it grades, even though they're over-grading it.,
This scumbag responded to my inquiry about using a picture of a dime for an auction of a Trade Dollar dated decades after they stopped: Of course he hasn't changed the title to tout the dime, or the picture to show the non-existent TD.
listing error Yea, an error in minimum bid or reserve price!!!! I find it funny the guy said the turbo lister put the wrong photo in, I would like to see the pic of the "real" 1926-s trade dollar.:hammer:
