I think the scratches are on the holder.
This is a coin that is only going to degrade further over time. I'm sure the owner knows it and that's why he is trying to cut his losses by unloading it ASAP.
Most likely the coin has severe corrosion problems under the dark toning splotches. Buying it and cracking it out of the holder in an attempt at "conservation" would most likely not end up with a good outcome.
If it were mine I would at least crack it out of the tomb it's rotting in. I'd get it into a Dansco quarter or type album so it could live the rest of its days out in dignity.
The big money for this coin is gone and ain't coming back.

Buy the coin not the slab:
What happened to the Strike details?
Look at the Reverse closely -- am I seeing things or are all the leaves wore off?

Yeah, because it's a BIN with Best Offer now. As a seller you should always make the price higher if you want to collect offers.

Yeah, he's trying every possible tactic to off-load that thing.

He's doing exactly what I would do if I wanted offers.

Let me put it to you this way. If the guy offered me the coin for free, with the stipulation, "I had to put the coin in my album" I would say: no thanks.

In the "lookit udders" section below on my comp showed two different 36Ds in 65 for $375, $475 (musta had dates/mm wrong!)and these are &&*^^%$ nice coins! So whomever this seller is, is really playing the poor suckers. These guys IMHO are as bad as those who sell fakes knowingly. Either that or I'd be looking at a shill increase here. Just ask a friend to help ya out, no problem, canx sale if it don't fly. Happens all the time, ebay isn't exempt from it.  Edited by Crazyb0

The biggest, most honest, sellers on ebay do it. ebay forces you to put a BIN on a best offer listing, if you want to field offers then common sense says to put an unrealistic BIN on it since you must put something. I would have put an even thousand dollars BIN on it and collected offers to see if I got an offer I liked. Quote:

I know the seller. He is a friend of mine.
I totally agree with Bobby, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way he is selling this coin.

Price Guide is high, but so are BIN prices with Best Offer. That's what I do with BIN or Best Offer listings, as well, because offers in those cases trend in the 50-75% of BIN area, sometimes less than 50%. However, that coin is about a 1/10 on the eye appeal scale.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
