I know...sad As a buyer I can't for the life of me figure out how some people expect to sell their coins. I have seen a couple of pictures that were so blurry I couldn't even recognize what coin it was. And the pictures above, yep...seem many like those. Now can we start a thread of not doing research on what an opening bid should be? LOL,

I am missing one regular Franklin and 5 or 6 proofs to complete my set. In looking through the Franklin's for sale a couple of weeks ago a seller had an opening bid of $1,600 on a circulated set that was missing a couple. No proofs, just 30 something regular circulated Franklin's for $1600

$2,499.00 for that wreck of a coin? It has the appearance of being dissolved in something--to remove corrosion perhaps? Hard to even assign a grade.
The Peace dollar has some of the lumpiest corrosion I've seen on a modern coin--probably "horn silver".

Again, the honesty makes me laugh. I reckon he is right though. Going to be harder to find one in worse condition and be able to tell what it is.

Funny description. The only thing going for that 10c is a visible date

The seller of this 1894-O Morgan states that it has "virtually unnoticable initials" on the obverse.
