Gah. That seller keeps relisting unappealing BIN items with absurd prices and short durations so they're always at the top of the "Newly listed" sort in several of my searches.

A beat up 1849 Large Cent in a holder with a $6.00 price written on it, but the opening bid is $102.00. The seller does tell us it's a "beauty".  |

That $6 just means that the guy he bought it from priced it at $6. That could have been last week or 20 years ago.

Ha! His starting bid is now down to $97.

Could be he's running a Dutch auction intentionally or unintentionally. One of the new features ebay has rolled out is to reduce the price when you relist unless you uncheck the Box -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

OMG http://www.ebay.com/itm/223122864866Quote:1937 Buffalo nickels on a Deer Horn Holder for a Candy Dish. Hand Made and painted one of a kind. The Buffalo nickels that are showing the obverse are both dated 1937. The candy dish is 4 inches across, and the horn holder is 8 inches across. This is a vintage used item, Please study the photos to make your own determination of condition, and I will be happy to answer any questions if possible.

It's okay - they're not three legged Buffalo's there's nothing to worry about.

 I sure hope my sister doesn't see that Buffalo / candy dish, or I'm doomed to receive another marginally numismatic white elephant gift from her . . . EDIT: And I value my life far too much to snag it as a gift for my wife. Edited by fortcollins

That would be just the item for a house that needs some very special "decor".
