Recently sold on ebay as an 1822 25/50 variety.

I am seeing no trace of an under type.

What do you guys think?

Not a chance. E PLURIBUS and D STATES are plainly in the wrong relationship. On the real 25/50, the E and I are quite notably left of the corresponding D and T, and even angled images like these make it clear this isn't the case. Don't even need to look st 25C. Somebody just threw $3000 out the window.

I messaged the seller with a link to this thread. Hopefully he will note this and do the right thing.

It seems pretty obvious that you shouldn't buy expensive raw coins on ebay. This seller could have likely made an extra $2-5k if it was verified and graded. So why did they choose not to?

sorry, but no pity any longer.
If someone wants to spend $2900 and not do their homework, then --

well, they got a mis-attributed coin


Study, research, buy the book first!

not a chance that seller gives a hoot. contact the buyer, have them return it under sellers protection and the wrong item description.
