Well, I think we have a consensus on this issue. Just for clarity, the auction was on ShopGoodwill. I see lots of coins for sale there and am often amazed at whatsome of the auctions go for. |

Oh dear. Went to their site and filtered for Coins and Currency. This was the first auction I saw. They also have a nice fake Trade dollar, too.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@Hondo: I suspect they have zero experience in coins/currency and wonder how they manage to get so many lots of coins "donated". And I found it does little good to alert them of a problem as the auction will be over before I get a reply.

Mike, I wonder what is involved with registering to bid on their items. Not that I will.

I'm registered and won several non-coin auctions: Silvertone electric guitar, camcorder, 20 mpixel digital camera, headphones, 3 electric magnifiers for low vision people, several microphones. |

Time to get away from sites like that.. FAR away.. Not so fast Dearborn. That site supports Goodwill which is a good organization. Also, you can find some good deals there on other merchandise. Like the Silvertone electric guitar which cost me $23 + S/H. Or the Minolta MN35Z 20M pixel camera I got for $26. Both items work just fine. I've gotten other deals, too. So don't be so quick to throw the baby out with the bath water, please. I know CoinFrog wants me to move on but I had to post one final message. The final auction price? Wait for it. scroll down... $282! Edited by mike31093

Oh, I know Goodwill very well, in fact my company in a main vendor for their stores for Horizontal cabling of their networks (Phone/Data)..
I see the stuff that gets brought in, I've seen their main distribution warehouse and I know how they 'handle' items (not gentle at all)
So I will not buy site unseen from their web site.
I shop instore Goodwill sites, and I get good deals, but I'll only buy from them if I can put my hands on it to get a good look.
So I stand by my statement. I have seen their internal operations than not many others have the 'opportunity' to see.
When a new store opens up, it is my company that is one of 2 in my location that is part of the construction team.

Quote:" no mint marker." Is that like a magic marker? No, it is one of those special markers that retailers use to authenticate money (normally bills/notes) In this case it failed because there was " no mint Marker" on it. |

1. Provided that I have independently proven information on ASW.
2. Provided that I can buy at below spot.
Needless to say, my silver stash grows very slowly. Nevertheless, I have accumulated about 700 grams over about 30 years.
