<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 267968, member: 8033&quot;]This auction was brought to my attention by Philly Dog. NICE FIND and WELL worth a look!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-Benjamin-Franklin-Silver-Half-Dollar-BU_W0QQitemZ220140310471QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220140310471" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-Benjamin-Franklin-Silver-Half-Dollar-BU_W0QQitemZ220140310471QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220140310471" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-Benjamin-Franklin-Silver-Half-Dollar-BU_W0QQitemZ220140310471QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220140310471</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay so what do we have here? Well, for starters it&#039;s CERTIFIED! That&#039;s what happens when you put them in a 2x2 and identify the type of coin correctly. This means, of course, that amongst the members of CT we probably own MILLIONS of certified coins. Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling doesn&#039;t it? I&#039;m personally trying to choke it back down - shouldn&#039;t have eaten those tacos!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I WILL give them some credit - they make their terms very clear. The old I&#039;ll leave you feedback after you leave yours. I JUST HATE THAT. If I sell and get a prompt payment you get positive right away. Guess that&#039;s cuz I never sell BEAUTIFUL UNCIRCULATED and CERTIFIED (in 2x2 coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and don&#039;t forget the 20% fee for returns. That shows great confidence in ANY CERTIFIED coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did send the seller an email off of the link provided in the auction. Methinks it&#039;s a pawn shop (the pawn in the address gave it away).</p><p><br /></p><p>My message?</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>An item of yours on ebay was just brought to my attention. It is (quoting text)</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;This auction is for a 1955 Benjamin Franklin Silver Half Dollar certified in Beautiful Uncirculated Condition&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>By whom is this coin certified if you would be so kind? It looks to me like it&#039;s in a common 2x2 holder. NO certification services use these as holders - NOT EVEN THE LOWEST OF THE LOW DO.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also like to know what service certifies a coin as Beautiful Uncirculated. BU means something else but I&#039;ll let you figure that out by yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your time and I anxiously await your reply. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>....and here&#039;s the repsonse</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I did not list this item and Im not too sure what he was thinking. I believe it is &quot;Brilliant Uncirculated&quot; but dont hold me to it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>We Appreciate Your Business!!</p><p>John</p><p>Levs Internet Sales&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I did check out another of their coin auctions and wouldn&#039;t you know it was certified as XF .... but we don&#039;t know anything about coins. We&#039;re just your typical, honest pawn shop guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>So who&#039;s gonna buy it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
