HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26535 Posts	Posted 09/26/2024 10:04 pm If you look at the seller's other pictures, there are many more coins from a good variety of countries besides Finland.

Dearborn Moderator United States 101555 Posts	Posted 09/27/2024 07:40 am yeah, I looked at the other images, but the seller would do better by calling it a bulk sale not a 'set' A set infers to me that it would be a carefully assembled group of coins trending toward a single goal.

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 09/27/2024 4:41 pm 176599393140 ...OK...Maybe not the *worst* on ebay ... but, now-a-days, any Spanish coin from the 1500s through the 1800s is a "pirate coin" ... .........................................................".....aargh!, me hardies: does me jewelry make me look buccaneerish?..." ............ ..."possibly from a pirate" ... ... more likely from Daisy Jones' locker ...

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 5:08 pm I contacted the seller & respectfully suggested that it is just a damaged coin & that no mint mark meant that it was struck at the Philly mint, not to take my word, but for him to show or send pics to local dealer ... ...also suggested this site, for a free evaluation from knowledgeable people ... ...a lot of these instances are a result of an honest person who is just ignorant of the subject of errors ... ...I see this as an opportunity, if that person is truly interested in the subject, to steer them to this site for help ... in hopes of adding a newcomer who will be a future collector & contributor ... ...while we get a bit of a laugh, or a bit of groaning here, I suggest more of us contact sellers like this in hopes of recruiting members & collectors, while hopefully cleaning up some of eBays' junk ... ...thoughts"?....

Dearborn Moderator United States 101555 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 9:11 pm Quote: & that no mint mark meant that it was struck at the Philly mint, Well in 1966 no coins from any mint carried a MM on them (1965, 1966, and 1967 had no MM's.) But that coin and the sale price is a huge disgrace.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18132 Posts	Posted 09/29/2024 04:04 am Someone here is selling an ordinary looking 1997 British 50p coin (worth 50p) but they claim it has 'Decus Et Tutamen' upside down! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166614879265?media I don't know where they are looking, because 50p coins don't have this inscription on them anywhere! Maybe I should ask the seller? My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
