<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 520597, member: 12965&quot;]This is interesting:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D160315257236" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D160315257236" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=160315257236</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The seller says they think it&#039;s a S-272, which is very rare (1807/6 small 7) but the 1 isn&#039;t close enough to the hair curl to be a S-272 and not far enough away to be a S-273, so that leaves S-271 (comet variety). The corrosion makes it appear to be a 1807/6 but it clearly isn&#039;t and the seller will not correct their listing. :whistle:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are S-271 to S-273 for comparison:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s271.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s271.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s271.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s272.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s272.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s272.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s273.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s273.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s273.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What this seller has done is use the &quot;Power of Suggestion&quot; method to get peeps to bid more for this than it&#039;s worth and it&#039;s a common technique used on Ebay, so don&#039;t fall for it, always attribute these yourself. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
