Save yourself the trouble/stress and consider the whole episode an inexpensive lesson. There is not a police office in the country that can afford...

Thanks Dave. I went back and looked and you are correct, the stem on that berry is very different. Plus the die cracks from early to late die...
Is it possible that S187 and S175 share the same reverse die with S175 being a latter state with those die cracks? I just do not see much...
It's an R1, very common.
Just curious, but other than the that berry position are there any other differences between the reverse of S-175 and S-187? I do not have my...
Ethics is not a gray area, it's the process of determining right and wrong, and it is a field of philosophy based on reason and logic. There are...
I have had the same experience and what I found out after the fact is that the original sorting facility sent it to the wrong depot. Once the...
Hi JP, these coin holders are too dusty for me to use. Please accept this return and refund me my purchase price of $x.xx. Sincerly, Tim
Quick question, there is also something going on by the rim above the second S in states and continuing clockwise towards OF, is that indented as...
Then I would say it's a lamination, or rather a delamination, error. This is more common on earlier copper, a large piece of the copper planchet...
Very cool, and I agree it looks like a cud over a lamination error. The cud is the result of a portion of the reverse die which broken off...
My guess is they are still listed because the seller has multiple coins fitting that description, you bought one but he has more for sale.
I agree, and I think I may be getting caught up in what value means. I like your phrasing as perceived value.
Right, and if collectors have a stronger demand for slabbed coins than for raw coins, even if it's irrational, that will lead to the same coin in...
What determines a coin's dollar value? Once you get past it's metal content doesn't the price depend on supply and demand?
Just because someone has stated their price guide is for raw and slabbed coins does not make it so. I am not trying to argue symantics here...
This is simply not true as far as things go, liquidity always affects the market price of assets. As long as the market for slabbed coins is...
Again that little ethical test. If what you did became universal ebay would go out of business and the option to find coins on ebay and buy...
see post above, and it's not screwing ebay out of anything, and further breaking the rules you agreed to abide by is in and of itself unethical in...
