    But it's clear he knows he's deceiving people. If you look at his listings, he uses words like "toned" and "rainbow" and "variety" and "error" and "close AM" and "Large Date" and "Double Die". So, there is real coin knowledge here and he's using just enough legitimate wording to dupe people.

    And it's not just these little $5 and $10 sales. That 09S-VDB that he started with was between $9,000 and $45,000! Doesn't that cross into felony territory? Or wire-fraud, or something???

    I did in fact tell the seller that $9-45k falls into the felony fraud category. Perhaps that helped encourage them to remove the listing.

    It was removed because it violates eBay's policy and was reported...

    . . . and then, (on the other hand,) he photographs coins straight-out-of-the-gutter without even so much care as to wash-off easily-removable blatant dirt and grime . . . and will not “invest” $20 in a box of cheap paper-flips.

    We need a Contest: Scavenge eBay for clues to his Identity: (And stop a serial killer in the process: ) “Loner” name; small frame; creepy dresser; possesses “Mental Superiority Complex” among other “psychopath traits “ of not following rules, compulsive lying . . . Oh . . . Or . . . buy a $2.00 penny, and get his name & address included for free . . .
