Here's my latest horrible ebay finds. Nothing terrible. Just some of the worst stuff I saw today. http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-US-COIN-193...90?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item53e45d89fe http://cgi.ebay.com/1950-S-Lincoln-...49?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2c586530c1 http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-COIN-1955-S...03?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item5195eafa77 Looks like a die break to me. Ideas on this one ^ are welcome http://cgi.ebay.com/8-George-Washin...87?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item255e8d89b7 And the high-pricers http://cgi.ebay.com/2000-D-SACAGAWE...93?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f03fc2215 ^1 million? Really dude? I don't think thats worth nearly that much. http://cgi.ebay.com/1974-Liberty-Ha...50?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f044414aa A) that E is supposed to look like an "F". B) 95,000 is a little much http://cgi.ebay.com/BU-1953-S-6-FUL...72?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item53dd9e6130 Not certified buddy. Thats it for now.
First is a 1920 nickel, not 1930. Second was damaged with a punch on both sides. Bored in shop class in the fifties. Third I dunno. Maybe a die with a scuffed surface. Fourth is $20 a piece for eight examples of a major error. Not all that bad. Fifth is only overpriced by about $1.75 million. Sixth was heated. Must have been cooled slowly, it didn't change color. Seventh, I don't know much about the mysteries of Jefferson nickel grading, but I think I can find better ways to blow ten grand.
I think that 55-S is the real deal. On my monitor I can make out the three punches and it appears to be RPM-001. I've got a few of these and it's an impressive variety. It's unfortunate that the seller can't get better close-ups. At $29 starting price though, it's not really a spectacular bargain. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1955&die_id=1955s1mm001&die_state=eds
That was the only one I thought *might* have been real. I couldn't make out three on my moniter but my eyesight is also that of a bat.
