<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1778989, member: 27832&quot;]Yes, I checked the seller&#039;s feedback, as well as the sold-items list.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems pretty clear what happened. This seller got (inherited?) some remarkable coins, but knew nothing about them. He looked up the going rate for similar coins (an &quot;uncirculated&quot; 1941 set, &quot;uncirculated&quot; Morgan dollar, etc.), and listed them Buy It Now at what seemed to him reasonable (perhaps a bit ambitious) prices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Someone pointed out to him that these proof and very-high-grade slabbed coins were worth easily ten times his asking price. In a panic, he pulled his remaining auctions, and backed out of the ones that had already been completed. (The 1944-D MS66 OGH Walker sold, and he&#039;s received positive feedback for it; that one was probably only worth 4x the asking price.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1941 set <i>could</i> have been polished junk in a proof holder. Given the nature of the other coins listed at the same time, though, I suspect it was the real deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
