Looks like vigil ante bidders driving the price up ridiculously with throwaway ebay accounts with no intention to pay. This is not that uncommon with listings like this. OR someone is chasing the cc $10 gold, which may likely be a cull or a fake -- even if it is real at say AU-55 its value is under $2k for a common cc. Edited by jimbucks

Is there any way the date of the CC half-eagle can be identified by the position of the mintmark or other markers?

^ That last one is currently at $13K--this is simply nuts for sight-unseen coins.   |

The $13k bid makes no sense whatsoever. That HAS to be a vigilante bidder with a throwaway account, right? RIGHT?
If not I fear for humanity's future.

Never mind the coins in a jar .... The bidders must themselves be pickled!

I do see the top bidder has an ebay score of 0. |

What the heck? I just clicked on the recent jar and it was up to like 15K with 55 bids. Then 5 minutes later it was down to 3k with 51 bids. Is ebay removing bids, or are bidders retracting bids? |

I think that it's amazing how all those coins were 'dumped' into those jars but none of them show any important areas of the coins (certain years or mint-marks). I do figure that after a 'junk' level was inserted into each jar that 'special' coins were carefully lowered into each jar vertically with a needle nosed plier, with the mint mark areas facing the interior of the pile.
I may be syndical, but I really don't think there's more than a couple hundred dollars worth of coins in each jar. If anyone here ever get one please let all of us know if the buy was a success or a skunk.

Darth - Wow! I can just imagine what I could get for the hoard I recently acquired using nothing but mason jars and cardboard tubes. Let us all know how much you get for the first jar. ..... |

Looks like the jar has a bit of a green tint to it. I thought the colored ones were worth 5 or 10 bucks. Most green tinted jars have no real value. Antique dealers will sell them all day to the uninformed. Just try to sell them back to a dealer. There are certain ones with certain stampings that are rare. Mostly, green screw top Balls and Atlas are as common as circulated 1958 cents. People are sure they are rare cause they are over 50 years old and they never see them. But if one does a little coin roll hunting you find one every 2 dollars or so. Same with green jars. Now Amber is a different story. |
