<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vegasvic, post: 411364, member: 15296&quot;]I saw a Buffalo nickel advertised on Ebay &quot;as a nice 1913S Type I&quot; after much looking, it was indeed a Type I, as it was on the raised mound and it did have an S mint mark showing. However there was no date visible on the obverse. The seller was technically correct, it was a 1913S Type I. However, I do not agree with his description, that it was a &quot;nice coin&quot;. I&#039;ve never seen nice in a grading sheet, but you see more and more coins advertised that way on Ebay. I won&#039;t even open the ads if they say &quot;XXXX Coin Nice&quot;. Maybe not against any rules or illegal, but it&#039;s definitely deceptive advertising if it takes 10 minutes or so of really examining the scan to determine what the coin is. It too bad that the members of this board could not band together and refuse to even open what they think is going to be a garbage coin with a slick come on. Then the sellers of those items wouldn&#039;t see the number of visitors to that page rise.</p><p>However, I guess it&#039;s only inevitable. The more markets that are created for a product, the more shysters there will be to invade the marketplace. In the above mentioned 1913S Type I nickel, I wouldn&#039;t pay a dime for it. But I&#039;m sure some poor soul thought he got a bargain and bought it.</p><p>It is actually within our power to stop it. By the law of supply and demand, if we cut off demand then eventually the suppliers will quit wasting their insertion fees and go back to selling asphalt driveways to widows or whatever scheme they were involved in previously.</p><p>Vegas Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
