It is all too easy to forget ebay is nothing more than a large online yardsale, and this is key here.</p><p><br /></p><p>To make a point and use this very board as an example: how often do we see people here who insist their coin is something that it&#039;s not? Hell, within the last couple years I remember one fellow who insisted he had 1962, 1963, and 1964 SMS dimes, and this is aside from however many thought their 64 half was or could be SMS. How often do we get questions from those thinking their 22 Peace is a PR? I could go on and on, but the point is that with ANY coin where there is a very specific type/edition/striking/whatever worth a great deal more than the similar looking common versions, you&#039;re going to have people convinced theirs is the former; it&#039;s human nature. If one wishes to deal with knowledgeable professionals, they don&#039;t drive around looking for cardboard signs nailed to telephone poles, so is doing the equivalent on ebay not considered to be equally as foolish? After all we&#039;re talking about a coin which very few non specialists would be able to properly identify.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry, but if this fellow is trying to <i>fraudulently</i> pass as SMS what he knows is not, perhaps he deserves a little pity; let&#039;s just say his light isn&#039;t shining very brightly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
