[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 25581989, member: 22377"][USER=142588]@Mr. Numismatist[/USER] pointed out some of the reasons you see those low amounts: a seller taking an offer (in which case eBay still show just one bid at the starting price even if the offer was much higher) or a seller ending an auction early to take a higher offer (tends to be against the rules if there is already a bid but it is not enforced often). And then there are the occasional items that slip by based on bad photos, an inconvenient end time, the wrong category used, or the seller's poor feedback. In general, selling just one common date Franklin (or other 90% silver coin) via auction isn't a great idea because after fees and shipping one tends to net less than just selling it for melt to a local store.
