You might get only ONE coin - say a coin with a Red Book value of $100 in a straight AU50 grade, except the coin you get will be AU and bent dented and scratched. I don't see anything deceptive about the ad as long as you understand that you're not getting a coin with a $100 value, you're getting a coin that would be a $100 value if it was some other coin without problems. I fail to understand why anyone buys anything without knowing exactly what they will get. |

I can think of many better ways to spend $35 than on unknown damaged coins. You could get a nice ASE for that. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

If you want to throw money away please send it my way. I'll even send you back all my cull coins. I would never buy anything from ebay that doesn't show a photo of the actual item, this listing doesn't even use a stock photo (pretty sure this listing goes against ebay sales policies). Q: If the seller was truly about selling coins that have actual value at cheap prices then why didn't he/she list them in lots of $35/$100 with picture? A: They aren't worth the paper bag that come with them. These listings are all about ripping off a new collector, or selling to someone unsuspecting that is buying for a collector. advice: AVOID |

For that reason many (most) seasoned numismatists stay away from damaged coins. IMO the $35 could have bought you some undamaged circulated silver. |

Hard enough to buy coins without problems as it is. Can't imagine buying problem coins deliberately.

Welcome to my world Coinfrog. I can't afford the coins I want in high grade. I'll take the F12 1880-CC half eagle for $600 over the AU55 for $7000 every day of the week. I like looking at the picture of the AU-55 though-the stuff dreams are made of-and there's always a better specimen than yours. In general I accept cleaning and wear but abhor rim dings, scratches and graffiti.
Nevertheless I'm 100% sure that this grab bag contains no 1880-CC half eagles. I'm not a buyer.

Funny story, they took it down and then put it back up, so I got a refund and I'm going to buy it again, I'm determined to get some new damaged coins to put in my damaged row in my collection (yes I have one)

Guessing the coin selling community is welcoming a buyer of damaged coins.  |

Gosh, you start out asking "Should I trust this?", your original link indicates ebay took it down (orange hoodie is not from the seller), then you go back for more? I admire your persistence, I guess. |

Waiting to see the "treasure" that Raiden has acquired. Might convince me to invest in some "unsearched Wheat penny rolls". Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
