PMD and POS,but I like the way the seller used the word "blended",great descriptor for a coin that's both a marriage of two coins and been run through a blender.I'm hoping someone can come up with a more novel description.

"creative coinage"....similar to artistic license when creating artwork

Looks like a Magician's coin made for coin-toss games. (Note: pick Tails.) Not very well fabricated though! |

ACCESS DENIED, eh? => Man, that would save me a lot of money! (maybe I should look into getting that?)  Curious though, because it has the seller listed as having 99.9% happy-customers ... ummm, so you guys are predicting that the dude that just bought this "blended" nickel is gonna whack-down the seller's batting-average?

That guys sells so much stuff I can't even imagine where he gets it all. One ticked seller won't make much difference.
In his favour his money back guarantee is legit.

I wonder if it could possibly be 'junk' overflow from Steve Bromberg's coin shop. Stuff not good enough for his new store, and not 'grandma-bait-ish' enough for the shopping channel...

That would be my guess too. Someone has to end up with Bromberg's overflow lower end stuff.

what, and then he heats 'em up, bangs them together and then sells them as blended silver? maybe I can get him to make me a blended quarter with my birth-year and my wife's birth-year?  Mr. Asyn sounds a bit too slick for me ... I'm gonna steer clear Edited by stevex6

Where there's the thing, even when he lists a scarce or rare item there's always a problem with it. I am super confident someone has sorted this stuff long before it hits ebay. I hate his scans, they are difficult (with my eyesight anyhow) to pick out flaws and while some of it sells so low as to be acceptable I've more than once laughed at an "MS 65 RED such and such" ... more like EF45 Red/Brown. I've always had a hard time with my bad eyes and photos/scans but I swear he's a master at masking those coins. |

MS65 is way over used with asyn, but you always get the coins you see in the scan.

 Sold for almost $27 Maybe there's some history with it to make it so valuable Perhaps some magician on the last night of his career tried to stuff it in a parking meter,his performance was less than amazing without the coin,and his car got towed. Or maybe it belonged to someone who tried to use it in the wrong bar to hustle some free rounds and ended up looking worse than the coin. |
