Your link takes me to a flat screen Samsung TV lol

 

If it were whizzed, I would expect to see the lines crossing the devices, but I don't see this.

OK worked now go figure my Samsung pad took me there must of been a relative of his

 

As a non-specialist, I wouldn't touch a raw Trade dollar with a 10-foot pole.

That said, it's definitely been harshly cleaned, and possibly whizzed. Whizzing is sometimes hard to see in photos, but all those hairlines just make me want to run far away from it.

I also find it funny that this so called "MS63" coin with a $2500 price tag sold for $465. If genuine, that's approximately what it would sell for in a details slab.

 

It's been Brillo padded for sure, but I don't believe whizzed. Seems like it sold a little high, but not high enough to make me think that anybody was fooled by his ploy.

 

Are you sure about that, or perhaps you simply forgot to add "not" between "clearly" and "whizzed"?

Is it a gem? Of course not, and is it a clearly problem coin? Absolutely, but if one takes it upon themselves to go out of their way to call someone out as a "Ripoff", they should at least have the decency to call a dog a dog.

 

well jeffscoins is known to be a scum coin dealer on ebay so its just best to avoid him

 

Here's a thread on another forum about him and his coin jars

Shoot....I just get the message that the auction has ended.

And I was just hoping to see some great whizzed TV"s.......

 

He sold it for less than 20% of his appraisal.

 

'..........

 

harshly cleaned.

 

The famous "I found these buried in an old mason jar" trick. I've got dozens of the old blue ones, maybe....nahhh, forget it.

 

I did find an old egg cup in a stone wall once with a few early wheats in it.

 

Is that one like the saying that my Father-in-law always said? Pick the 'blue one' (booger) and win a Ford.......

 

No way.... you mean to tell me some schmo selling jars of surely never seen before rarities isn't on the up and up? Say it ain't so, man! Say it ain't so.....

 

And "they have never been searched".

 

Reminds me of this one guy I saw years ago selling lots and lots of raw "estate sale" coins. I think his were "locked in a safe for 20 years" or something.

He had the most incredible images, too. (I seem to remember him having a lot of Buffalo nickels with high-grade detail.) Luckily, the unbelievable story overrode the pretty pictures and I never fell for it.

 

If you were in the market for whizzed TVs why didn't you say so. I've got tons of them for cheap.
