It's a shame what someone did to this coin. Almost tempted to bid on it at $15. 287448653837

Interesting piece none-the-less. At least the seller isn't misrepresenting it.

Quote: At least the seller isn't misrepresenting it. True.  Good for the seller for being honest. We need more honest ebay sellers. There's way too many dishonest sellers on ebay.

The mention of silver brings out the worst in bidiots. I had bid $2 on this peso because I have 54 of them and would like to get a "roll" of 100. By the way, there is absolutely nothing special about this coin aside from its melt value of $2.88. And this is not the only time I've seen this happen with one of these 10% silver pesos.

HondoB, it sounds like the bidder doesn't want to lose or wants it badly enough to keep bidding higher.

As always, bidding behavior is a human thing--in a marketplace adorned with warts and all. Wonder how much that donkey in Lower Egypt went for centuries ago--perhaps was bid up?

Auction ended - absolutely ridiculous. And there's a buyers premium of 18% to be added to this.

Well, the buyer may be disappointed when they get it.
