Can anyone explain this Craigslist coin listing to me?

Check out this Craiglist listing. Am I missing something or is this just another classic example of CL postings?

It's not a proof

 

You like the price for a non-proof?

 

Well, the seller says that it is a proof, so it has to be! I wonder why anyone would remove a proof SAE from the original AitTite just to put it in that plastic case?

Chris

 

It's a one ounce silver bullion coin, worth spot; $34.47.

The proof ASEs, if I'm not mistaken, will be the mint mark S for San Francisco where the 1990 PR ASEs were struck.

 

That one will go fast!

 

I hope not.

 

No. $500 for a bullion ASE which you can pick up from any dealer or B&M for up to $4 over spot, between $37-$40.

Obviously that seller's mind is from another planet to think anyone would be stupid enough to pay over 10x spot for that.

 

Yeah - but look at the tarnish!

 

Those cases are awful unless you like dark purple edges on your ASE. I keep mine in one that my great-grandpa got me for my birth year, but I dipped it a few years ago to get rid of the ugly stuff on the edges.
