<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 1252912, member: 18614&quot;]I&#039;ll actually have the real answer tomorrow, but I wanted to see what you guys think of this. I am working on a US type set in higher grades, EF and better, and try to find a deal, like any of us. I happened upon this listing on eBay, and I can&#039;t wrap my head around why anybody who knows anything about coins, would ever sell this piece in this manner. It&#039;s a &quot;sideshow attraction&quot; in a circus of &quot;unimpressive numismatic crapola&quot;. So .... why on earth would this coin be sold this way? The easy answer is that there&#039;s something wrong with it ... but even with problems, I would have showcased the dime in a seperate listing, rather than in a &quot;lot&quot; in the &quot;collections and lots&quot; category...... What will I find? </p><p><br /></p><p>Riddled with hairlines? </p><p><br /></p><p>Chinese fake? </p><p><br /></p><p>....and....Why is this not encapsulated?</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: If counterfeit, Paypal has my back, so it&#039;s not a real big gamble.</p><p><br /></p><p>This could happen....if somebody inherits material they know nothing about, but this seller apparently has been a buyer of numismatic material as well, so that&#039;s apparently not the case. He is aware of 3rd party grading ,at least as it applies to currency, since his only other listing is a certified star note. The other reason to list it this way, is that you &quot;don&#039;t want the right buyer to see it&quot; ... ummmm, that doesn&#039;t sound quite right.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you were to stagger a guess, and purely for entertainment value, what do you think I will find tomorrow when fedex delivers my lot of uninspiring nickels? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the URL <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/190567769529?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/190567769529?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" rel="nofollow"> http://www.ebay.com/itm/190567769529?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
