    A couple things I got a chuckle out of, method of manufature...proof, but he says it looks pl or dmpl. A proof that looks proof-like, what are the chances. I also like the type....round. No kidding!! It is a proof coin that "retains it's lustre" and looks like it just left the mint. Hmmm, a 2008 minted "coin" that still looks new, truley amazing.
    Lastley he says "decide for yourself what a magnificent Obama coin of hihg quality is worth to you" and earlier in the listing he says "roll of twenty!!!". is he attemting to sell a coin or twenty coins??
    But hey, for$1,500.00 why not take a chance.:whistle:

    Should the president drop whatever he is doing and go listen any time a citizen decides they want to talk to him? If yes he'll ver get anything done because there will be a constant line of people waiting to have him listen to them. If not, what are the guidelines for when and who he should go listen to? I'm not sure I'm qualified to make that decision. The silly ting is that if he sent someone over there to find out what she wanted she probably wouldn't speak to them, she wouldn't be satisfied talkin to anyone less then the president himself.

    Ok 3 days still no reply.

    The seller also states it's silver and there is NO usual silver inscription on the only side of the item depicted.

    The seller is selling it as a "COIN" but I don't see a monetary inscription and the seller doesn't mention a monetary value on it, so it's probably not a coin.

    The picture provided does NOT look like a scan or photo as it looks more like an artwork drawing. If this were a photo or scan of a PROOF metal then the photo and scan would appear much different.

    Discussing the certification outside the usual Third Party grading companies, doesn't a Certificate of Authenticy from the U.S. Mint create some sort of certification? Although I believe there isn't one with this auction.

    I also note that the seller has 3 auctions running right now selling the same item, using the exact same photo. The seller is selling singles of the item with a starting bid of $100.00 OUCH!

    Just because the seller states they are "SILVER" doesn't make it so.

    Many of the e-bay sellers who don't know the composition of the $10 Casino Silver Strikes I collect make the claim that they are made of solid .999 Fine Silver with a Gold plated rim and weighs 1.2 oz, when in reality they are a bi-metal composition. A highly polished Brass outer rim with a .999 Fine Silver center insert and the insert weighs approximately .6 troy oz.

    Bottom line = Don't always believe the seller's claims! Ask questions and be skeptical. If the seller doesn't answer questions??? DON'T BID OR BUY!!!
