<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 839260, member: 19884&quot;]Nah...I think it just changed the hunt.&nbsp; You have to hone your skills for shopping on E-bay.&nbsp; I bought a &#039;27-S standing liberty in a nicely circulated grade probably 1 minute after it was listed with a buy it now.&nbsp; I was looking for a fairly graded one at a good price, and all of the sudden it was there...moments later it was mine.&nbsp; There is definitely a thrill of the hunt on e-bay, but a good deal is like a $20 on the sidewalk.&nbsp; They don&#039;t sit there long so you gotta be looking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gotta say though...these fake coins are going to absolutely kill the market.&nbsp; I&#039;m paranoid to collect anything raw right now unless it is low grade, obviously naturally toned or just not worth counterfeiting.&nbsp; We oughta press the ANA to lean very heavily on E-bay and congress to outlaw the things.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to see the ANA threaten to open their own website (or just plain do it) for the sale of coins with the understanding that any coin sold shown to be fake could have the seller lose their selling priviledges.&nbsp; Then we need to boycott ebay until they fix the problem.&nbsp; Their inactivity on this issue should not be tolerated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On an upbeat note, regarding teaching kids the thrill of the hunt...you&#039;re right, they need to learn it and it&#039;s good for them.&nbsp; I think tonight I&#039;ll let my oldest girl go through my pocket change to find more state quarters for her map.&nbsp; Maybe we&#039;ll google the states to learn more about them.&nbsp; Should be fun.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
