Actually more proof that there are way too many
uneducated numismatists out there .
Always found it remarkable that someone
would spend hundreds or more on a coin
but not a penny on a Coin reference book .
I am afraid the buyers of this stuff richly deserve
what happens to them in this scenario !

When you go through the "sold" listings from the 2 links above, there were 2 or more bidders on the ones that were grossly overpaid. I think that there a lot of unused reference books laying around, unopened.

Oh me oh my... This is an interestingly exciting thread here  ... Now my 1907-H cent is AU condition, nice chocolate brown color, and ironically is in higher grade than mr-doofus BU condition one,   Now these are whizzed coins obviously  . |

There is something funny about this seller and the listings. Virtually every coin has multiple bids, almost all of which are such commonplace items, like nickel dollars, that dealers have trouble selling at all for heavy discounts on the list price. All the copper coins look cleaned.

With what he's selling for maybe he will but this super polished 1cent for 100$. I think I paid a little over 2$ for it lol. Compared to this one though I'd say it would only pass as AU:p   |

Here is another one with 1 bid from the same guy, I wonder if he's bidding his own items to try and get an uneducated 2nd bidder thinking if one person bif it must be worth it https://www.ebay.ca/itm/224671523519 |

All the copper coins look cleaned. I would agree. All the sold large cents were bought by the same one or two bidders. Heck even the nickel dollar looked polished. It's really too bad, because some of those nice large cents are EF to AU grades to begin with (the 1907H is criminal).

Speaking of heavily polished coins, wasn't there a collector on one of the coin sites who polished all his higher grade Large Cents so that they looked pretty? I don't know if it was CCRS or CanadianCopperCoins or which site, but I remember the posts that he made, that everyone said that he was ruining the coins. These ebay examples may be some of his. |
