The pictures are good, and, an appropriate starting price but, the description is where I have a problem. Looks like he bulk lists and uses the same template for all his coins. Maybe that's what it is. 1870 is a better date but with that corrosion, I would not touch this coin. I do own a few corroded coins but it is no where near the severity of this coin. Well, okay, maybe one    swcoin.ecrater.com

At least the IHC is real. A bunch of his Morgan's look rather questionable. In fact, I have an emoticon for just how they make you feel...  |

I would not even be willing to pay the shipping. Not for a very nice 1870 (give me a break) coin he is selling.

I agree, not a very good description. I guess when you have 195,000 sales, you mess up a few. But the pictures tell the whole story.
He is a volume seller and I have bought from him/her plenty without any issues.

 This particular coin is corroded right through--it's barely a placeholder. I'm puzzled how this particular seller puts "very nice" in every auction--yet has a "100% positive feedback" rating.If I sold coin-related scrap as "very nice", I'd expect a lot of neutral, even buyer negs.  |

I've bought from him before, never had any problems.
It would appear to just be a template for all of the listings.

Billie, yep...the seller has a decent record on ebay; no argument there. Yet, I've noticed he sells a lot problem IHCs as "very nice". Does everyone understand they're not? Obviously, that 1876 IHC is an exaggeration.  I just prefer to be up-front and properly describe any coin I sell. |

I made a thread about the same thing with a whizzed 1825 Half Cent he had described as MS-64 or something.... |

Here is the another question to ponder: Why is that vomiting emoticon smiling?

Well, if anybody is buying the coin based on "Very Nice"...I feel sorry for them.Maybe he just likes everything..."Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Is that like "buy the coin not the be-holder":)

I think this is a case of "Beauty is in the eye of the seller"....
