Nice AU, plenty of mint luster! [IMG]
I'm guessing that there were at least two people who recognized it as a fake and wanted to make sure no unsuspecting buyer would "win" it.
You're entitled to your opinion, I suppose.
But since it will be closed in an hour, I hope the "winning" bidder doesn't send money first. The good news: eBay and PayPal will make it right....
Somewhere in the giant roll-hunting thread, I posted a photo from three rolls of customer-wrapped halves I got at a local bank. I think there were...
Someone with a long history of selling cheap consumer goods is suddenly selling a bunch of CC Morgans. From Hong Kong. What could possibly go wrong?
I've read a number of stories from people who didn't understand Buyer Protection. As x115 said, Buyer Protection comes from eBay, not a...
Pretty sure that the IRS or any accountant would have a differing opinion on that. Perhaps what you meant to say was that eBay/PayPal only report...
If you find a 1913 Liberty nickel, you should study it and see whether you can determine on your own what kind of fake it is, then take it to a...

The Redbook doesn't give pricing for restored-date coins. I see one restored 1886 that got $21.25 on eBay. Still not a bad return for your...
I'm just really reluctant to pass along a recipe like this to someone who hasn't been indoctrinated in lab safety (eye protection, acid-to-water,...
DON'T DO THIS. The mixture will release chlorine gas over time, and it will trash your coins. It's a terrible, terrible idea -- it's dangerous to...
As others have said, you can certainly make money -- search rolled coins, and you're just about guaranteed not to take a loss (unless you get...
One of the rare occasions where it's good to see a counterfeit for sale.
They're ugly and dull when heavily worn, which is the only way I saw them as a YN. In higher grades, they've sort of grown on me -- they used to...
Looks like terrible environmental damage and cleaning to me. I'd buy it at melt, but not at that price.
Pretty sure everybody here recognizes you as not-a-troll by now. :) That said, I can't make out anything at all on the photo. Can you try taking...
