Perhaps the term he's looking for is "FOOL-PROOF".
As the second-place bidder, I'll choose to take that as a compliment on my valuation skills, rather than the dumb luck that it actually was. :)...
If I recall correctly, last time I got a Second Chance offer, it was at my max bid.
eBay has a "Second Chance Offer" feature. It's all legit, with eBay getting their cut.
Thanks -- that's what I was hoping to hear. I guess I should've phrased the question as "is it gradeable". :) I'm pretty sure the reverse "lump"...
I think there are a lot of people who believe they can pass off a polished coin as "proof-like". And, of course, there are some who honestly don't...
I took a swing at this one, but came up short: Lot of (3) Seated Liberty Type, 1871 Half Dime 5C, 1857 O Dime 10C 1842 Quarter I don't know...

You know, it's been a while, and I honestly don't remember what I found -- which implies that there wasn't anything too spectacular. I don't...
Please don't do anything irreversible to these nickels until you've studied a bit more. It's really easy to tell Type 1 (rounded mound on reverse)...
Nooo! You'll ruin their value! Sure, they'll "look nicer" and be more "sanitary", maybe even "fit into coin slots", but to the sophisticated...
It looks incuse to me -- is it?
"Scarcest coin in the set"? Are you sure you aren't overlooking an S mintmark? I can't be sure from the photos, but it looks like there's...
I'll bet you could turn a healthy profit on those on eBay -- with a properly crafted description. :devil:
I'm still trying to figure out "lip oolong"... :scratch:
I don't trust myself not to lose it. Maybe I could speed things up with a rock tumbler? :devil:
