You not only bid a high amount but you then bid 2 more times to ensure you had the highest bid. A crook seller would have upped his bids to higher than your second highest bid. Good point Neal,never put in a 2nd bid when your highest bidder,Seller will shrill it up at first opportunity and take the risk he has a fish on the end of the line. Report this Post to the Staff
andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 11:20 am Well it took a bit of searching but I eventually found the origin of the 1925 penny - it came to the seller as a lot of three from seller brenton49 ebay id : 181469022148 (original single sale was ended). & 400744338885 (lot of 3 × 1925 pennies sold to my seller in mid-July). The original photo as displayed when the penny was sold to my seller is below. It is unmistakably the same coin - see mark down shoulder through D to rim. See indent on I. Reverse also shows same markings (eg. rim indent after 1925). What's fascinating is how much shinier it is in the hand or when I photograph it than it looks in the original listing. Cheers, Andy.

andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 06:42 am Good news guys - the penny is back on the market - get yourself a bargain, you'll be kicking yrself if you miss this one... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=ite...8450&alt=web Also, I've been told my money has been refunded but there's a paypal holdup (how good are these guys - ever needed their help?) - so once the cash is actually in my account I will advise & can tick this seller off as decent in that way.

andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 9:37 pm Guys, Told you I'd update when all finalised, so I am. Got ALL my money back including all postage, so seller did the right thing & kept his word in this regard. Thanks again for your advice & help - & lesson learned (luckily without too much pain). Cheers, Andy. Report this Post to the Staff
andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 06:12 am The same penny just resold for $385. If it is returned again I can see it making $1k easily. Truly the magic pudding of 1925 pennies. Report this Post to the Staff
andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/23/2014 06:14 am New buyer obviously not happy - did put up positive feedback but it reads "Bad quality pics". I feel really bad for him - he shld demand a refund like I did. The coin is worth zilch. Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 11:47 pm I don't even know why the bidder went to $385 (even if the scratch didn't exist),did he bid on the first 1925 he saw? I picked up a 6 pearler full diamond for AUD 103 (under 90 USD) yesterday and I'm sure there are better/cheaper ones every year. Just need to search ebay and have some patience/bidding discipline.

andycoinster Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 12:58 am Yeah, it's a funny one - but it's described as if it is most wonderful 1925 Penny ever. Sadly it's the most cleaned 1925 penny ever (well that may be an exaggeration, but you know what I mean). Agree with you re discipline etc - but I got caught & I think some of us have to get caught once to learn a lesson. If I was the buyer I would've gone for a refund - more mug him/ her for not doing so. But I'm pretty tenacious & take offence at having a seller misrepresent goods - I think if a coin is cleaned, & the seller either has cleaned it or knows it has been cleaned, it should state so in the description. Happy for others to have a different view - & just adding one of these fantastic bouncing fruits (or this may be a vegie)... Edited by andycoinster 10/26/2014 01:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
