1916 SLQ Auction.........or Is It?

That would be great if it was! The coin would have gone from one CCF member to the wild back into captivity with another CCF member.

UPDATE:

The coin received was a WORN-OUT Walking Liberty half. After contacting the seller offering to work out a solution without filing a complaint or involving negative feedback, we worked out an agreement. Seller will refund enough of the purchase/shipping to leave me having paid $10 for the half, which is about bullion value. I will leave no feedback at all on the transaction. It took me sending 2 pictures, 1 of the coin from the auction, 1 of the coin sent and a link to numismedia with information on the difference in Walkers and SLQ's. I also let the seller know that I know the photo was "borrowed" and there was zero chance she actually had the coin in question. She then admitted she didn't know much about coins and had only sold a couple and had done virtually no research on them.

I chose to try to be amicable and cordial rather than just throwing a b**chfit and filing the complaint. In the end, I believe the seller will be careful if ever selling anymore coins, and I got a worn out Walker for about what I'd have paid for it at a flea market.

Cool

The walker sent is a nearly dateless 1920. So worn I can only make out the 20 under certain lighting/magnificaion and the area where a mintmark would be on the reverse is completely worn away.

I am not convinced this was a case of the seller not knowing the difference. They won an auction on April 1 that consisted of four dateless SLQ's and one dateless Walker. All coins were individually pictured and none of the SLQ's were type 1. Why dig up a picture of a 1916 instead of using a picture from the auction you just won
?

Just doesn't sit right with me..

dave700x - interesting, I hadn't looked at the sellers purchases. I have added this seller to my never again list anyway......

Once I brought up the point about the photo being 'borrowed' she agreed pretty quickly to work it out.

I think it was intentional as well. What are the odds she got a random SLQ picture and it was a 1916. She obviously knows it has a huge premium and wanted to sucker people into it.
