You guys/gals are correct but I would bet there will be a bidder.

Of course. Sellers have no monopoly on cluelessness.

I would disagree with you. If it was that easy to sell a commmon Kennedy half, I'd be auctioning them off by the dozen.

Right, my bank will easily order me a roll of halves. If I can sell them as a BIN of $40, I would definitely do it.

That's the problem since ebay did away with their insertion fees.

It used to cost you 35¢ to list an item.

If an item didn't sell because it was way overpriced a seller would usually at least lower the price when they relisted it. Now that there is no fee (or consequence) for listing junk ebay is now flooded with overpriced garbage that is relisted over and over every week and it just clogs up the searches.

Ever go to a used car lot. They ask all kinds of money for junk and sometimes get it. Same with coins. Worth a try.

Not if you're scrupulous. You could probably sell a common date Indian Head cent or Mercury dime to somebody who's never seen one for ten, fifteen, maybe 20 bucks...but would you sleep well at night doing it? This ebay seller seems to just be ignorant of what he has, but as legitimate coin collectors and numismatists I don't think we should ever have the attitude of trying to fleece somebody on a coin purchase because its "worth a try".

The same thing happens with English coins - I've seen some people listing common 2 pence pieces dating from 1971-81 because they've read reports that 2p coins with 'NEW PENCE' rather than 'TWO PENCE' are rare (there is a rare mule but it's a 1983 coin only found in mint sets).

Do they have no clue what their coins are worth?

Or they know what it is worth and are trolling for someone who doesn't.

There are probably a lot of people whi have never seen a Kennedy half. And who says they are scrupulous?

I could, but I don't seen to have much of a conscience. Fortunately I have a strong sense of ethics.

I just got 3 rolls of mixed Kennedys for face from the bank. I better put them on for $100 plus shipping. Give a deal to someone. But I would feel guilty

People post stories here all the time about cashiers who don't recognize the money they're being paid with.

There is a guy who sells circulated Ike dollars, $3.00 each, and Kennedy halves, $2.00 each, at a sidewalk sale each month at a local antique store. I told one person who just bought an Ike that they can still get one from their bank for $1.00 if they have any and that probably was where he got the ones he is selling.
