I think the better quote is from PT Barnum

Actually, I thought it was from Ben Franklin, but it's correctly attributed to Englishman Thomas Tusser (1524-1580). A couple quotes from Franklin pertinent to ebay:

"Those that won't be counseled can't be helped." and
"Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it."

Rick, that's the extremely rare error 1895-S+O Morgan that actually was minted in New Orleans. I believe it has a known population of two and the first came out of the Eliasburg Collection, is currently owned by Joshua Gonagecha of Toledo (the Jeep millionaire) who bought it in the Feb 1997 B&M auction for $2.7 million. The whereabouts of the second 1895-S+O are currently unknown, has been shrouded in mystery since 1951 when a Mrs. Tredlitle filched it from her husband's collection, then promptly disappeared. I thought everyone knew that. [:p][:p][:p]

Quotes from PT Barnum
Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.

There's a sucker born every minute.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

The Old saying: A Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted is just an old proverb and was never really stated as who said it

that was from some google searching that gave them results I didnt write them myself, but they could have been wrong. the a fool and his money thing came up the same thing on multiple sites that it was an old fable that has been said for centuries but never stated who was the first to say it

Did you all look at the bid history? I don't get it. I did notice that the buyer seems to purchase all New Orleans Morgans. She has some other very strange, no rhymn or reasons to her purchases! More money that cents! Sorry, couldn't help myself! (Not too original either)! ;-0
