<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shortgapbob, post: 245308, member: 6088&quot;]Ding, Ding, Ding.&nbsp; This coin is not a genuine 1915-S Half Eagle.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is the story:&nbsp; I went to a local auction that had this coin listed as a lot.&nbsp; I felt uncomfortable about the piece, so I didn&#039;t bid.&nbsp; The lot was bid on and won, but apparently by someone bidding for the auctioneer, who also sells coins on his website.&nbsp; For one, the shill bidding bothers me.&nbsp; But then I find out from a dealer friend that the auctioneer had brought the coin in and the dealer had confirmed that is was not genuine.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the auctioneer put the coin in his sale anyway.&nbsp; After the shill bidder won it (because it didn&#039;t bring strong enough money for the auctioneer), I saw the coin added to the auctioneer&#039;s coin website.&nbsp; This pic is straight from there, and he is asking a strong price for a piece that he has been told is fake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a local person that I would certainly not do business with in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
