E-bay sellers listing items at only just above face value may have access to cheap (or free) postage. I've bought things on ebay that I'm pretty sure were posted at the seller's place of work (probably without authorisation). I used to work for a company where there was a big sack in the corner of the office for outgoing mail and nobody noticed if the odd personal letter or birthday card got slipped into it - of course, that was long before ebay!

Quote:Apparently, that seller ran into some common Kennedy halves in decent shape and decided to see what happens. That's all they have listed. It's an exercise in futility, though. They're gonna lose money with ebay and PayPal fees. Oh well. I wonder if the seller will also combine shipping at 99 cents for multiple coins.

Paul Bulgerin, good grief! There's too many of these crap items on ebay. Pretty sad.

Ha! It's even funnier when you see where he came up with his mythical 98 "grade."

DeputyMax, it's a beautiful coin, although I definitely wouldn't pay 150.00 for it though, since it got a details grade. In my opinion, I would only pay 70.00 for it (not buying it of course).

This one keeps popping up in my saved search. https://www.ebay.com/itm/163445830811I'd really like to see that reverse, but I guess it will cost me only $400 to find out it is a $40-60 coin.  No returns - nothing he's trying to hide here huh?

According to the seller, this example of the UK's commonest coin (mintage 1,521,666,250) is not only Very Rare, but was also one of the last pennies issued before Decimalisation! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1p-1971-...100275.m3474The appalling photography doesn't quite do justice to this awful specimen!
