[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 352280, member: 12965"]Considering I watched a cast copy of a colonial coin go for over $700.00 and the seller used the same ploy, that in-of-itself doesn't necessarily kill the bidding. The coin in question was a USA Bar Cent and it was obviously a cast and they would never send me better pics. They claimed they tried to send them but it didn't work and when I replied through my email so they could just reply and attach the pics to the reply, not a peep out of them.

That wasn't the only fake colonial coin they sold that night and all of them went for a pretty penny. I feel sorry for the peeps who bought them! As to this listing, I cannot say it is a ploy but it could be. If I wanted to bid on it, I'd do him the same way and if he wouldn't send me better pics, I'd run as fast as I could. Ribbit, Toad :smile Ps: There were about 5 fake colonial coins sold that night, by two different sellers, and neither would send me better photos.[/QUOTE]
