Gorgeous example :)
Looks like that account has been booted, good job to everyone that reported it.
Yes I was thinking the same thing. He won't be able to take the money and run even if someone goes for it.
I had a little fun and messaged the seller: Dear mestamarga, Hi, I wanted to bid on the listing titled "1975 Coin" but I missed it. Can I still...
This reminds me of an ebay scam that went viral a while ago. The listing title had something like "Xbox box" in it, at a time when it first came...
Thanks, it actually ended shortly before I made this thread. Luckily no one bid on it.

Was it a 1980's-1990's 25 centavo? May have been mine. Used to vacation in DR with my folks back then when I was a teen. We would bring back rolls...
That is good news. As far as I've been able to research, all of the 1968 reproductions were numbered on the edge.
It implies that I've come to know what I'm doing because I've taken the time to learn and develop a trained eye by buying raw coins. Growing as a...
Here are some of the Spanish language sources I found about the 1968 versions. If yours is numbered on the edge it will be one of these, if not...
No because I've had the chance to examine them properly and not put blind faith in a piece of plastic :)
This makes me very glad to have avoided collecting slabbed coins for the duration of my numismatic life. :)
It's a medal, not a coin. I believe there was something like 500 pieces made in bronze in 1968 as a 100th anniversary tribute to the peseta...
I haven't heard the term "snipe hunt" since I was a youngin in the Boy Scouts. Good times :)
Separate names with a comma.
