I'm sure we don't need another thread about Etsy, but I couldn't ignore this one. https://www.etsy.com/listing/710292...allery-1-6&organic_search_click=1&frs=1&cns=1 My 1959 Gibson Les Paul is ventage. It is also very highly sort after.
VERY rare. Notice how the second D was a negative and totally canceled out itself AND the first D. It's a Discovery piece.
I seriously doubt it. An amazingly BAD chinese fake with a poorly done obv paired to a 1913 type 1 rev. And for only $50,000.
Uuummm Your 59 WHAT?? Old guitars rank a veerrryy close second to old coins in my list of most interesting objects!
Doubt what? I knew this was a fake because it was on Etsy. It is hilariously bad because it had a type 1 reverse.
I doubt there is a 1913 date under the 16. Stairstars said he would wager that there was a 13 under the date.
I had considered it was an outright fake, but thought there was something funny under that 6 that was not another 6.
Do you really think any of these outrageous ads actually get sold?..... I mean, I can see someone making a poor choice on a couple hundred dollar coin maybe. Probably has happened to most of us at one time or another. But tens of thousands of dollars??? Surely nobody on earth would remotely consider dropping that kind of coin before they did just a little bit of investigating, would they?
Hope this isn't hijacking the thread too much; I clicked on the link to check out the nickel, then I got distracted by the "Similar Items" The SBA without a "mind mark" caught my eye at first, but then he really brought it home with those "rare old American Pennies." Ya' know, I'd like to think the pipe dream prices serve as advertising for something else they are trying to sell, but somehow their inventory (at least on Etsy) is always much the same. Plenty of examples of folks coming to the forum over the years, being told they were had, but the damage was, like you said, never tens of thousands of dollars.
