Seller says he knows nothing about coins, but then guarantees they are all genuine. HA, you don't even get the wrapper, he probably needs it for his other auctions!!!!
EVERYTHING about this auction (and his others) STINKS. First hint is the huge font. No returns but he'll guarantee they are all Three Cent nickels. Well, what if they weren't? Kinda kills the guarantee when you can't return them. Added pictures after several email request. Well, DUHHHHH! I'd much rather buy totally blind than with the aid of some crappy pictures. Coins from the 1860s, 70s and 80s. Wow, he knew that without looking? Or is that what he put in there. Let's see 60s are common, a few dates in the 70s are common and would bet money that the ones from the 80s are all 1881. Some fool is going to pay $20+ for a bunch of $10 (or less depending on condition) coins. Yeah, I'll bid $1500 just to prove I are even more stupid. clembo
It looks like a set up ro me. The Grandpa story; the old wrapper etc. Someone may soon regret the no return deal he's just made. Bruce
Delicious Trap. And yes, he didn't reply back about the cash offer for the wrapper. Sent by Media Mail.
Who says a roll is 60 ? Rolls didn't exist then,right ? 50 would seem the most logical number, for these.
I'll never buy a supposedly "old roll" off ebay again. Half the time I think they cull some lousy coins out of a batch, wrap them up last week and then beat up the wrapper to make it look old and everybody over pays for a bunch of garbage, thinking they're going to find a real prize. I did this with buffalo nickels. I would have been better off buying a known, graded, single coin.
