The red color is kind of stange, but any coin that old is cool to me.

 

OMG !
Is that Big Red chewing gum in the middle ?!?!?

 

looks like melted candle wax. pretty gross looking.

 

If I'm not mistaken that seller started off as one of those

"I don't know anything about coins" sellers.

This auction shows just how true that statement can be.

 

mark:
Apparently that was one that everyone could resist.

 

ouch

 

He relisted it and dropped the price by $10.

Eventually it'll hit face value and then it'll be a buy.

 

I have noticed other sellers do that. List a coin with a high buy it now, then re-list drop 10 bucks. I like to keep some of the BIN auctions in my watch list just to see what sellers do. I have watched one half cent be re-listed about 3 times and he still has not dropped the price - oh well. I always wondered if sellers can tell how many are watching an auction. I actually saw one seller add to his listing something like - "With everybody watching this auction how come nobody is bidding". Too funny.

 

Yes, sellers see the number of people "watching" their auctions.

 

Good cause I watch a lot of auctions I have no intention of bidding - just want to watch for what ever reason.

 

I do the same thing, Mark.
