Something is wrong in that auction. Looking at Variety Vista they have 2 separate listings - One being the 1968-D DDR-001 FS-801 and then separately the 1968-D DDR-002.

A little scary when the auction is from a seller with 0 prior sales?

Well the real scary part is, after a little research, the DDR-002 is NOT the same variety as the FS-801, so the auction title is misleading. One of those uninformed bidders is going to be in for a surprise if they think they are bidding on the FS-801 variety.

How uninformed could you possibly be if you are bidding over $1000 for a quarter? There is a strong case to be made for correct listings, but an equally strong case to be made for educated acquisition.

I'm not sure that the DDR is super-evident from the sellers pics, but here is the best I can do with what they have in the listing:  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The seller has 0 sales, that would end interest for me, immediately . Just another ebay scammer. |

,,,my (un)educated guess is that this is a fraudulent auction ... analysis of the bidding shows a possible legit bidder at $2.00 (1st bidder...2000+feedback), but the remaining (3) bidders have very little feedback ... they would be accomplices in this scheme, whatever the end purpose ...

another possibility is that the "auction" is cover for illicit goods ... buy the item, get some drugs, a gun, whatever ...
