[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 7752040, member: 99642"]This coin, in this condition, I think is way over priced. For one, it has been altered and is no longer an original coin. It is more or less a graffiti piece.The addition of the stones doesn't, in my opinion, add any extra value, because the stones are so few and so small, they aren't worth much at all, if anything. In all honesty, I know this seller and have been buying coins and other things, mostly watches and Sterling Silver flatware, from him for 4 or 5 years. Last year I bought from him a spooned 1962 GWQ that had been made into a ring. I gave $10.49 for it. I haven't been buying much on eBay recently, but if I had seen this when it was first listed, I may have bid $20 - $25 on it. I wouldn't have won it but I would've had it on my bid list and watched it go up until it sold. It's too bad that eBay no longer allows bidders to see other bidders names. You used to be able to contact other bidders and chat back and forth, and even warn them about bad sellers, but eBay stopped all of that in order to protect it's profits.[/QUOTE]
