love the commentary: "Here is an incredible chance to pick up the deal of a lifetime, up for auction is a 1875 S "COPPER" Trade Dollar, this is the only one I have ever seen. "

Yup, a trial strike!
Probably the forger's trial strike!

even from this crummy picture you can see that it is a fake.

 

Nah the other is nice & shinny

 

Love it! Thanks!
LOL

 

Hmmm? A trial strike with brand new dies that are cracked?
I think the seller and potential buyers are cracked!!
It lookes like it was toned with wood stain.

 

That is the rare 12 star, enlongated denticles reverse variety.

 

Shucks. I thought this thread was going to be about one of Copper Struck Commercial Dollar Patterns.

 

Nope, I think some guy carved that one out of a bar of soap with his prison shank.

 

rotobeast:
Thanks! I need the laugh!

 

That's it ! Maybe that would explain this one as well...

Guess What. There are scam coin listings on eBay.
I know, it's dreadful news, but I thought you all should know.

 

Jody I am shocked n Horrified that you would ever suggest that there are scammers on Evilbay

 

Well, I thought it over, and there was no easy way to say it.
I thought the news would be easier coming from a friend, than hearing it from a stranger.
Believe me. I take no joy in breaking this to you.

 

LOL I am devistated

 

900 Fine:
Actually, that one is ligit!
It was a common practice to carve up Trade Dollars and make: "Potty Dollars".
They are popular collectibles.

 

> scammers on Evilbay <

Just had, for the first time, an old German coin delisted from eBay before I could buy it. I'm fairly experienced in this series and the picture looked OK. Put in a fairly high bid. Coin disappeared a day or two before the auction was supposed to close. Searched by item number and subject. Had the email of the seller, first contact for me, but she did not respond to my "why" inquiry. eBay boilerplate says high bidder will be notified by email if an item is delisted but I was not. eBay's help forum said to try, believe it was "whyend.com" but that just yielded more boilerplate intended for a seller who had something delisted by eBay. Oh well, maybe I will see that denomination and date again sometime.

Not suite sure why he would do that, as he wasn't ripped off, just had had a coin he wanted removed by ebay.

 

Are you sure eBay cancelled the auction?
The seller has the right to do that, as well.
The seller doesn't have to give a reason.

Perhaps there was an "offline" offer made, and the seller chose to take it.
There may have been a mistake made during the listing. Who knows?
