If you want a good laugh, look at how this seller represents his items on eBay. I have never seen so many "key dates" that are worth melt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Key-Date-18...742863?hash=item210958ea4f:g:uHEAAOSwFMZWrAMA
sure not a key date, but how about the 1992 eagle? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-Americ...078201?hash=item41a3ce43b9:g:8zkAAOSwzhVWqXhW @ $23.50 + $3 shipping, and 5 hours to go.
It's just bait and helps in searches. Cheesy and schmuckish, yes, but it's also eBay where everything and anything can be a "key" or "rare" or "gem" or what-have-you.
Technically every coin in a mint and date set is a key date. You must have it for a complete set. That said, I've got a big bucket of "key date" clad quarters at home and I will take the first offer of over 20x face value for them. If you buy, I can get lots more for you.
You're in the right area of California. Why don't you bury them in the ground for 50 years or so. Then get PCGS to slab them with a "Hoard" insert. Chris
Sadly, I think this seller actually has some numismatic knowledge. I noticed that all the blatant AT coins are simply labelled "toned," while the one or two NT coins are actually labelled "natural toning."
I'm sorry, but you really should do better than that before labeling a coin "most likely" fake. From what I can see, I've no concerns regarding authenticity.
I agree completely. It appears to be a mildly circulated, common date authentic Morgan. If it hasn't been cleaned (can't tell from the picture), it is probably AU 53. It certainly isn't a valuable date-- it ain't no 1893 s, nor is it an 89cc or 1884s in MS condition.
Yep -probably makes good money on selling things like this. What gets me is it seems he wants some serious premiums for his silver. And all his morgans look almost the same in the pictures. Sigh.
Why do the Chinese even make fake coins? They can come on the U.S. eBay and sell our own coins back to us at X times their numismatic worth.
