Here's another. Better bid now, because there's some extra-rare circulated clad stuff in the middle.

At least this guy's honest about stacking the jar.

Another one, $4K with 7 hours left. The warning to other sellers at the bottom is kind of funny. He's claiming copyrights to the "look and feel" of the listing.

I think it's kind of funny how he says he can guarantee that there's nothing newer than 1964 when he later says that the jar is unsearched.

*sigh*


I think that I would bid on his jars, but I would not bid the kind of money that he is getting for them. I would bid only based on the market value of the coins (and in this case there are notes too) visible.

Perhaps, the jar should be filled with acetone to preserve the coins; then, sealed with wax and stored in the basement. ebay should ideally can these listings!

This jar thing is just crazy. Do these people even have to make up this stories to make a huge buck? What if I bought up a large stockpile of silver dimes/quarters and whatnot and stuffed them into a mason jar myself? I mean put them in naturally, and take some good pictures and remark about how the entire jar is chock full of silver coins. I'm not the scamming type, but I'd be curious to see what would happen if someone tried to sell a jar full of silver coins without a bogus story, just disclaiming with convincing pictures that the jar is full of silver? Seen as how these people are bidding for something they can't even see, I can totally see it. I'm not going to do it though. It's just a thought.

I have looked at a few of these sales, I keep a jar on my desk that I dump my change into, my jar/container if very dirty inside. Coins and bills are very dirty and all these jars I see are very clean, it does not appear to me that these coins have been in these jars for a very long time. I think its great marketing, and all of the buyers feedbacks I have read are positive. I would never do this, I do believe it is somewhat deceptive. The jars (empty) from estate sales and the coins from another estate sale, combined together are from an estate sale. Play on words, hopefully most are bidding on what they see in the jars, I wonder how many are not genuine coins, I bought a lot once of mixed coins and the Trade dollar I received was a fake. I didn't realize it until I sent it in to be graded, It was years after I purchased it so I had no course of action to take. I was too trusting and didn't check it out when I received it. I was really excited that I had my first Trade dollar. I would suggest to anyone purchasing these types of auctions to check every coin right away, to protect themselves. I personally would stay away from these types of sales.

Today I did a feedback review of the coin rancho notorious jar seller. Hundreds of feedbacks were read, mostly for collector coins and bullion valued at $20 or less. I found one jar buyer, who was very happy with his two jars ($10,000 for the two of them). This seller has a lot of negative/positive feedbacks, and a fair number of negative neutrals and full negatives, but they don't pertain to the jars. Many pertain to the seller's "buy an estate gold coin for $369" program. No feedback that I read reported receiving more than a quarter eagle ($2.50), none reported receiving rare dates or mintmarks.
