I dunno, almost sounds too good to be true...

 

I wouldn't touch this one with _your_ money

 

Well I dunno, I think with his money or yours, I'd give it a try...

What do i got to lose??? If it turns out legit, I'll hook ya'll up with a few of something once I inventory it all....

Man, that would be a fricken job all on its own....

Where the heck would you put it all and not have to worry about it...

Really the only way I'd buy it with my own money is if I could take a certified check and a numismatist of my choice to check it out 1st... Then if he give me the nod, I'll sign it over...

There is a link to the item.
I wouldn't touch that auction with Roy's 20foot pole!

Speedy

 

lol...absolutely. when they "claim" that a numismatist looked at it and decided it was not worth the effort...

bells! whistles! alarms!

 

Lol, notice the counterfeit trade dollar in the picture. Not to mention the lack of the 100,000's of thousands of coins.

 

Aside from the more glaring problems, I'd be a bit skeptical of a seller who claims to have a fortune in coins and yet recently purchased repro Morgan dollars. The potassium nitrate and rocket fuse purchases would also make me nervous, but that's me. No sense of adventure.

 

It is such a "good deal" they have to add in a watch. And I like the part of yanking the heart strings with the old:

"ALSO THERE IS ONE CONDITION: THE WINNER MUST TAKE A GOOD CARE OF MY GRANDDAD COLLECTION - AND DON’T THROW ANYTHING AWAY - EVEN IF YOU’LL FIND THE WORTHLESS TOKEN. MAYBE MY GRANDDAD SAVED IT FOR THE PURPOSE AND IT WAS MEANINGFUL FOR HIM AND HAS SOME MEMORY BEHIND IT."

It is so "meaningful", they are dumping the whole lot on ebay.


Good Lord.

"Warning Will Robinson, Warning!"

 

OMG! You weren't kidding! Look at what else this person has recently purchased!

 

WOW! ​

 

I have visions of exploding coin lots with the repros and potassium nitrate lol

 

scam scam scam, went to toolhaus to llok at the negs, all auctions were private so I couldn't even see what they were all so peeved about, but it looks like this person just got out of the bilking ebayers with fake jewlery/stones and are looking at the fake coin biz, imho

 

If it looks too good to be true.........

 

I would stay away from this lot.

I want to see the "$10,000" 1880-S Morgan. This coin better be an ultra grade.....lol.

current bid: US $15,600.00!!!!!!!!!!
and one day, 14 hours to go.

 

The only possible way I can see bidding on this if you are located near the seller and can go look at the lot. And if I did that, I'd make sure I went without my wad of cash for fear of getting robbed.

As people have mentioned, there are so many red flags it isn't funny.

Seriously, if your friend came to you and told you about this huge unsearched collection, and in the first 1% you found all these $10k coins, you'd tell your friend you were too busy because there was just too much there right?

Secondly, if this person truly believes there is over $30k in face value and this auction stays where it is, she'd be a fool not to pull the listing especially since she claims it's worth $1M. Unless maybe she's independently wealthy and just sells jewelry on eBay for fun.

A free gift? Ummmm.

And as a side note, she claims it weighs 300 lbs and has 100k coins. That comes out to an *average* weight of 1.3g per coin.

 

Stay Away From That Auction!

 

Firstly, I don't even know any other stuffs in there, but the identification of this is totally wrong:

1988 USSR Samarkand silver 5 rouble - only 200 ever minted - value is over $10,000

Most probably he / she forgot another three zeros at the back. Most reference books remove three zeros for easier readability. That coin is extremely common and to find it in proof condition, maybe let's say 20 dollars is the best. 10,000? I wonder what reference book that person was looking at. Inflated Russian currency perhaps?
