On principal I kind of wish it went for under spot because you have "WOW" in the title.  I've looked at it on and off all this morning and I'm not sure what is making it go so high. Part of me thinks it might be the bottom of the seven. Edit: To explain, my think was that they might think it is a double HP variety because the seven looks like it might be doubled. That is the only thing I can come up with.   Edited by allranger

SOMETHING I DON'T GET:
When the price got beyond $27, I only see a**a and 2**2.
This is bewildering because the two bidders, apparently, bid 2 or 3 times consecutively. Why wouldn't they just add $15 dollars instead of three 5 dollars?
It's something worth thinking about

The 7 certainly looks different from normal. The normal is a curved 7 in 1947 50c terms, but this looks like a straight 7/7.
And then there is a dot between the 3 and 7.
The right vertical stroke of H of EH looks too long.
It there a chance it is a counterfeit?

@noah Seventeen non-payers is a bummer. Is that an abnormally high percentage of your sales or usual. I have never sold anything on ebay so I don't know - but I have never failed to pay for something I won even if I didn't really expect to win and didn't really want it. And a new bidder right in there... you probably have every right to be suspicious. But then all of us had only 2 wins at one time. I hope it works out for you. |

Well after a closer look there is definitely something not right with the "7" digit... It should be a "pointed 7" similar to that of the 1947 pointed dollars... But this one is not... First pic is noah's coin... 2nd pic one of mine...   cameron93 |

Huh, interesting. I have no reason to believe it is a couterfiet, but it could be. Why would someone counterfeit such a common coin?

It could be that the buyer found your listing via an oddball search, and got caught in a bidding war without doing a broader search. Those "X****X" usernames are typically shills/snipe accounts, so it's strange to see one sell for so much. It is possible that your 1937 Dollar was a proof, which would make the end price make sense.
Funny story, I was meeting with a supplier to get some coins, and I noticed a 67 quarter on his desk. He was on the phone, I motioned I wanted it along with some other stuff I was picking up, he mouthed "$3", I paid, and off I went.
So one of the regulars came along at the flea market, and he asks me what the "friend" price is (I had it tagged at $10, wanting $8). I gave it to him for $5. He handed over the money hurriedly, and said "The deal is done, so now I can tell you this is a diving Lynx, I have been wanting one for years". He made a point of showing me the slight angle twist, nowhere near the Diving Loon Dollar variation, as if he wanted to rub it in. I shrugged and said, "I guess you got a deal, but so did I".
