Plus, the auctions that do have pictures are not constant, small/large sized pics; black, grey, white background. Probably "took" other pictures from google or past ebay auctions.

I have returned 2 coins that I bought on ebay with no problems. However, this looks to me like some people who like to gamble a couple hundred bucks for a coin worth a few thousand (if it is legit).

Here's the bizarre thing, 9 people have bid and it's up to $230.00.


Maybe the seller opened nine accounts to place phony bids so that people will think the coin is legit.

ratman: How about a 1893-S Morgan?

With NO picture of the coin's reverse!

I can see it now: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's an 1893-O, my mistake!"

If you notice,95% of his previous sales are between $1 and $20 with the exception of the G W Signature.
All of a sudden All of his current auctions are for alot of money with bad pictures, little detail, and says he will not respond to Questions.If you like to Gamble on bad odd's roll the Dice.just my thoughts

well I guess we'll have to watch and see how these auctions turn out! It will be interesting to see his feedback in a couple of weeks.

I was watching this particular seller -- they seemed to have a lot of very collectible stuff, and very little that wasn't, no pictures, and some kind of a cover story that they were handling a liquidation of a department store that had been in litigation since the 40s, or something like that.

I am sure that this would have been a record, time-wise, but could not find anything of the backstory online. They seemed to be very selective in what they listed among the merchandise. If this was truly a litigation, there have been other things not so collectible listed as well, but everything was a big-dollar item, like a Superman # 1 comic book (but no others), a first edition of Gone With the Wind (but no other books), and coins known to be high-priced. Go figure.

I thought it was too good to be true.

Guess it takes a while to filter back that goods are not being sent , there was a guy just recent scammed 54.000 selling gold coins he simply didnt have.

Let your credit card on file expire so when ebay tries to collect their fees it's declined. That will do it.

Probably so Conder101 , but I think they might very well put the debt collecters on to anyone doing that.
They have all your details so its not a problem.
