Take a look at this Ebay item. 42/1

Ebay item 260200573141. Someone please put this on so that you can just click on it. Thanks. I don't see any 42/1, and this seller lives in India. What do you think? I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole. Can you believe, it's up to $275.

Arizona Jack:
Very neat, and how did you blow that up like that?
[aside: someone is wasting good money.]

 

Save picture , then open in Microsoft Picture manager, use crop then resize...

I do it when the situation calls for it or to cherrypick Rpm's

Hope that helps

 

Those poor ignorant fools who bid on this and auction like this. Soon their money will be gone and their prides shattered when they learn how foolish they have been.

Sadly it seems that when one of these people wakes up and sees the light, 2 or more sleepers appear to take that ones place. To bad we can't just stop the sellers in their tracks. Oh well you live and learn. You get cheated, you learn the hard way.

 

Another reason to stay away, I emailed the seller this:

"Where is the 1? This looks like a regular 1942."

And got this response:

Dear sir
as biding is started not able to give u big size photo.......ijust look at scan if u thing its 1942/1 then bid other wise leve it........


thanks

 

Jack:
Thanks, I've gotta try that.

 

I asked seller " why are you selling a 1942 dime as a 1942/41 dime ? "

Reply was, " check my feedback, this is a rare coin"

 

I don't see a 1 there either.

I'm generous.

I'd give him a dime over melt if he shipped it for free.

Basing melt on silver value in 1999 though.

 

thats a huge ripoff, now up to $280!:desk: i can't belive someone would be stupid enough to bid! that looks just like a mercury dime i bought from the coin dealer for $1.10.

 

well, get reporting people, there is still time..... I just did

 

I just wrote him an email.." Your just screwing Americans. Hope you get kicked off ebay quick."

 

Could be this is the low mintage design subtype of the standard design type 42/1 missing the 1.

 

If he was smart, he would have tried the D version, much less prominent of an overdate......but then again, if the bidders were smart.....

 

Big if's, Jack, both of them. In fact I wonder if the winning bidder is even going to get the dime.

 

They must have removed it. The link shows 0 items for sale. Good for him!!
