    Well something is going on,none of the bidding accounts have any info and a coin worth $1 being sold for enough money to buy a decent car at this rate.

    Money Laundering? LOL what a joke for even a missing edge letters variety.

    Even though there were 3 bids (actually only two as the first "bidder" was also the third bidder). the auction ended and is NOT indicated as SOLD. And is wasn't even a legal coin!

    And now the second bidder is "no longer a registered user"

    Why do you say it wasn't a legal coin? looks like a regular Washington Presidential dollar to me.

    Not a chance that anyone dropped that kind of money on a circulated coin found in any vending machine. Highly likely that either the seller, under another account, or a friend posted the bid to get the seller above a zero feedback.

    Maybe this is how/why these coins are going for ridiculous amounts: Money laundering: Criminal A list the common coin for $50,000, Criminal B "buys" the coin at that price, Criminal A can now say that his "income" is from selling coins.

    At the time, without a photo of the edge, I don't know if the edge was incused.
