[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1055708, member: 27832"]I happened across this auction maybe 90 seconds before it closed: [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/My-Mom-Hoarder-Rare-US-Coin-lot-w-silver-/280603208406?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4155412ad6#ht_500wt_983"]http://cgi.ebay.com/My-Mom-Hoarder-Rare-US-Coin-lot-w-silver-/280603208406?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4155412ad6#ht_500wt_983[/URL] Check out the photo. What's that out-of-focus item just below and to the right of the Franklin half? Is it really a quarter eagle? Or is it a cheap token that "accidentally" fell in with the mix? I would've given it an 80% chance that this is a seller too clueless to realize what he's got. Seeing that he's been selling "My Mom the Hoarder" sets of "unsearched" pennies and nickels, I might have dropped that chance lower. But he's got good feedback for the stuff he's sold so far, and he doesn't seem to have a sudden burst of lots that "accidentally" appear to include high-value items. If I'd come in with 5 minutes to go, I might've bid on the basis of melt value for a quarter eagle plus the silver I could count in the image. What would [I]you[/I] have done?[/QUOTE]
