Because the review was written six weeks before this coin was listed, and concerned an 1875 5 Drachmai, not an 1873 1 Drachma....look here:...
The only "actual complaint" I have any specific information on - and it's a pretty famous complaint in other venues, surprised you don't know...
There are people over at CU who have been reporting him with such regularity they're probably now considered cranks by the authorities. :)
I'm sorry, I can't help it. :)
17% of 220 bids is a pretty large number, especially if that's a seller's buying account and it's bidding the coin well over the point where...
A closer look at the rest of his auctions reveals a_whole_bunch of suspicious bidding from members with (fairly) large Feedback ratings. Methinks...
Ah! Thank you; the rating didn't open until I clicked that link. Goes to show you how much stock I put into "Product Reviews." :)
I haven't the slightest idea what's being discussed - I see nothing resembling a "review" at that link. The word doesn't even occur on the page.
I do, but as a 65 it's a high-end one. VAM-1I, BTW, kind of an interesting piece.

Haven't done much high-res imaging, have you? Get a dSLR and a decent lens, and learn for yourself if you don't want to believe me.
Heck, I read the OP, understood it, and then posted thoughts as if it didn't exist. :)
This is a bit optimistic, but call it $75 for replacement purposes. A straight-up knowledgeable Morgan variety enthusiast wouldn't give you $75...
The beauty of being a variety hound is, you don't have to care if it's more valuable or not. :)
I've the feeling that's already happened on the obverse, above IN GOD. That spot may have convinced the previous owner to give up on the reverse.
No, we'd all be broke because there'd be nobody to sell to at a profit. :)
That depends on what you have kicking around to take pictures with. :) However, there are some fundamental ground rules common to all coin...
Don't take me wrong - any 1878-S Long Nock (the very first Morgans struck in San Francisco) is a rare and desirable bird. The overwhelming...
