(Slightly) dishonest ATB 5 oz quarter seller on eBay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/113180191799

To his credit, he *does* specify that there is no "P" mintmark on it... and he says that they have an "uncirculated (BU) Proof-like finish".

However, if it were not for helpful people here on CoinTalk, I would have thought that this was one of the "collectible" versions of the item.

In this thread:

* @jwitten told me that the "burnished" ones come with a COA (the above-linked auction mentions an "adjusted US Mint COA"... no idea what that is...?

* @wcoins told me about the "P" mintmark

So thanks again!

There are plenty of "burnished" Ellis Island quarters for $175 or even less if you're looking to buy.

As for this seller I don't think he's being dishonest, but he should add "bullion version" in the title to avoid any confusion.

Some people who never read the description may see the box and coa and think they're getting the P mint.
