So they local coin shop told him it didn't have a price/value so he/she decided to put up this outrageous amount. He/she must really want to sell it the pic's are terrible.

Let me know if someone actually buys this coin. If they do, I have some beautiful 'Beach Front' property Oklahoma on which I would give them a great deal!

Does anyone ever fall for this sort of stuff?
I'll give him 26ยข for it. It is a penny's worth of entertainment.

I cant imagine anyone that actually has 250k would be silly enough to fall for this. He/She would probably get the occasional hit at say $250. IMO |

I like this statement: Quote:
I have asked a few coin dealer what value for this quarter and I was told that this coin has no value at this time.

It's a struck through coin and a well circulated one at that. Worth a few bucks at best but not all that collectible because of the wear. I also like the comment that it would not make sense to show the obverse (where the missing MM would be) because we wouldn't be able to tell it from pre 1999 coins, which are decidedly different. Moving the MM to the obverse was far from the only change to that face of the quarter. The guy wants a quarter of a million for a coin that he can't even deliver decent images of. Why don't coins on ebay have pics like those on Heritage and other large coin auction sites? Those sites offer images that you can actually grade from. |

I don't think this coin exists. Those look like blurry, out-of-focus Bigfoot images. ;-)

Wow! Asking $250,000.00 makes it not even worth contemplating if it is real or not IMHO but at least he says you can view it in person at his bank first and if not satisfied he will give a full refund... Riiiggghht.....  Totally legit  |

I would like to think ebay would put some sort of restrictions on carrying such high-priced auctions. I.e., you have to be pre-approved to do so or must get approval on an item-by-item basis (in this case, not allowing due to lack of good pictures or any other credible evidence to support the opening bid and buy-it-now price). IMO ebay loses credibility by allowing these kinds of auctions and possibly opens themselves up for litigation. |

I sure don't want ebay (or anyone else) sticking there nose in my asking prices. That would be a revolt of a magnitude ebay has never seen. |

Heck I can grind off a mm and charge a lot less than that.

Yes, it would have to be approached carefully. I don't suppose you or anyone else on CCF would post such obvious BS though. Honestly I get a kick out of these ridiculous auctions, but seems like a liability for ebay. Whatever. I suppose I don't really care as long as no one falls for them. |

I have not looked at the auction yet but I am going to make a guess that it is a New Hampshire. They are well known for having missing mintmarks due to Grease Filled Dies. OK checked the auction, NH Nailed it! Edited by Conder101
