[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1351613, member: 29581"]My advice, and I see many lots in your lengthy list, is to not bid on or consider bidding on anything that's plated. It's worthless, and damaged as far as I'm concerned. Make sure you know what to look for to determine if a coin is truly uncirculated, or just the auctioneer's limited opinion on that. [I]"[/I][B][I]LOT 139 2004 michigan U.S. air force quarter, LOT 140 2004 michigan coast guard, LOT 141 2004 michigan US navy quarter, LOT 142 US marine corps quarter, LOT 143 2004 michigan US army corps quarter," [/I][/B][B][B][B][B][B][B] [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]Sounds like real coins with colored decals stuck on one side, i.e. junk. Lot 170, Dale Earnhart Silver Eagle, Mint never made such a thing; however, it sounds like one of those genuine silver eagles with a decal stuck over one side. If you bid on this, remember silver is hovering around $30 an ounce, and just because someone put a sticker of The Intimidator on this, does not increase it's value at all. I can't read anymore of the list, it's giving me a headache.[/QUOTE]
