http://www.ebay.com/itm/1776-Pewter-Continental-Currency-Dollar-/150657079769?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2313dc99d9 Maybe it's my skeptical personality but this looks like an odd coin to be for sale on Ebay......
I don't know about an "odd coin", but I would think PCGS would know the correct spelling of "currency".
I think that is what they are calling the coin. It is a exact quote from the coin. Marky78, I see nothing to tell make it is a fake. Is there something specific you are asking about?
Well, "curency" refers to the spelling on the coin itself. It does seem like an "out of place" coin to see on ebay. But it's probably legit. Anyone see anything wrong with the slab or seller?
That is probably a type of money instead of a form of money. Because they spelled it here the same the same way: http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/15733550.html
I was curious because of the "india" on the location as well as the small feedback number and nothing recent. I would think someone selling this coin would have sold other coins. Also the bid history is mostly from a "0" feedback buyer, It seems like they're bidding it up trying to find a sucker. I could be wrong and let me know if you think so because as a buyer of coins on ebay I dont want to be victimized and I like to learn as much as I can about what to look for and warning signs.
This seller has a number of red flags... including only one item sold (non-coin related) on the 'Bay and that was in '09, along with possible shill bidding. I might be wrong (I usually am) but this could be a hijacked account. Even if it isn't, would you bid on a coin (for that amount of money) located in India if you lived in the U.S.? Even with buyer protection, it would be a big hassle.
Yes, this. Out of 50 bids at this moment, like 25 are from that (0) buyer. Staying away would be a good idea.
Not that I am recommending buying that coin, but zero feedback buyers are the least likely to be shill bidders and the most likely to bid like that. They do not know what they are doing. Besides, if you were trying to shill bid, would you not want to make it hard to uncover?
What bothers me is that if you look at the other items he's selling, Birch Run is in the U.S.; can you list a coin on eBay that is not in your possession but thousands of miles away? Seems strange to me. Think I'll drop him a question and request a photo of the slab reverse.
You got me on that one. You will have to ask the seller. BTW, has anyone looked at his other items for sale? He is selling 4 different super bowl rings and a national championship ring and they are listed as in the USA. But where on earth did this guy get all those rings. I wonder if Pawn Stars even has that many.
The rings a reproductions. They are brass with white or yellow gold plating...says so in the descriptions. Plus, the Colts ring has Peyton Manning's name on it. Do you think Manning's ring is made or brass and/or for sale on eBay. You can buy reproduction rings all over the place.
