It's not an S mint, it's an S-289 attribution. The asking price of 50K on ebay is about 35K too much imo, after some quick research.

What do you mean? You think the price is suspiciously low?

Quote: What do you mean? You think the price is suspiciously low? and Quote: That is scary, what do you mean edweather? The actual coin is listed on ebay for close to $50,000 by a reputable seller. The Craigslist ad is clearly a scam which answering it would likely result in being robbed or worse case scenario having your name in the obituary section of the newspaper.

Oh, thanks for the clarification, I guess I wasn't seeing the full picture but I get it now. The person on Craigslist stole the image from a perfectly legitimate ebay listing, is pretending to have it up for sale, but in reality is up to no good. Therefore, the image of the coin is basically just bait for a scam of some sort.

It's a scam. Shame though, that's a gorgeous coin.
