Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 6:16 pm I just seen this lot sell on ebay. I am assuming the price went this high because of a variety on the 1859 Cent. Looking in my catalogue, I can't see what variety this coin is (If it is one. Although, the pictures aren't the greatest either). What am I missing? Report this Post to the Staff

john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 6:29 pm Regardless of the variety on the '59 the lot seems to have sold way over value to me. I picked up a lot of 20 '59-96 in way better condition for $35.00 at an auction about 2 months ago. I am really curious what people saw in this listing that I am not seeing.

Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 6:34 pm Someone is going to be very disappointed. The '59 isn't what he thinks it is. There are a few scarcer dates there, but with heavy wear and corrosion .. and the photos are not good. I don't think any of the bidders have a whole lot of experience, but ebay is "buyer beware".

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 6:35 pm Yeah, I agree what did anyone see in that bunch. The pictures were so dark you couldn't make out half the coins, definitely not worth $220.00 odd dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:03 pm The more I look at it the more it is starting to look like W9/8 but no way of knowing die axis. Very curious... Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:15 pm Looking at the other items this seller has sold. I think it might be shill bidding. http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Old-Cana...t_481wt_1318 Both lots were bid up in the end by three people. (7 Feedback, 39 Feedback, and 46 Feedback) Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:17 pm The seller also has these two lots ending soon. I would bet they will both be bid up in the end by those three bidders. http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Old-Cana...t_481wt_1318 http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Four-Old-...t_481wt_1318 Report this Post to the Staff
Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:39 pm It's not a 9/8. As far as I can tell it's nothing and, BTW, I was the co-author on the Charlton variety section that you were looking up to compare to the auction. Report this Post to the Staff

Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 08:37 am Banknotes .... You were right. The same bidders, probably shills. BTW, Dan (above) was another of the co-authors. Report this Post to the Staff
JeyRey2000 Pillar of the Community Canada 743 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 12:19 pm Wow! good eye! The same guys are bidding on but never winning the auction. Putting in bids just high enough to bump the sale price! The final sale price of the first is absolutely crazy. I should round up 10 large cents and put them up for auction even at half that selling price! Report this Post to the Staff
