Thank goodness the admins are the end all be all folks.

You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I don't collect IHC, but I could tell that mint mark is out of sync from many I seen so far.

Fake the real S mintmark has a certain look to it aka the font or logotype, the middle of the S is thicker, the one in the OP photo is all wrong looking. Here is a good video that looks like the same coin.

I guess that the point I'm trying to make here, is that you really have to watch out for yourself. People are currently bidding on this, and others of its ilk. I was told by an Admin to whom I protested the posting, that it was a Free Country, and buyers could be (you can guess the word he used). The Admins leave it up to sellers to ameliorate any problems with their sales-especially genuine or not. Thing is, though, that every post must be first approved by an Admin person. If you pay for your item(s) as a Friend of the Family (feeless), you have no protection.

The S is so clearly garbage that if somebody wants to scam and be scammed in some anonymous bubble world where the "admin" rules, I'm not sure that I care. Can I pay in coinbit?

Anyone trying to help folks bidding on this, or just letting it go due to the admin being an idiot?

I can't post a link (it is on "that" Social Media site); but if allowed I would post the site Title

brufle23: The Admin I talked with said, basically, Caveat Emptor. They also do not "like" people commenting negatively on coins offered for sale. I did send a PM to one person who was bidding on an obvious fake coin, and was accused of wanting the coin for myself...

Red flag! Run away!

This policy is only going to bring more crooks to that market. Shame on you "admin."

Looks like the site info was removed; I did see it though and am following up.

Thank you; I entered the Group- "coin" sold for $340. Not sure how my comments will be taken...

Update- admin nullified the sale "due to suspicions of the coin being an added mint mark".

We were looking at that... I'm just a newbie at this, but it looks like whomever is making these is using an obverse hub that has a very weird Pearl at the end of the necklace. It seems to be on several different dates that she is offering for sale on there
