Am I seeing this right? Current bid of $227.50 for a 1942-P Merc. It's definitely not a 42 over 41. Am I missing something?

Maybe somebody thinks it will grade out at 67 or 68. Sort of crazy to bet that on a so-so pic...

Unless I am missing something, that coin is worth nowhere near what it sold for. One thing to note about the winning bidder, 49% of his/her bids are with this seller and 21% of the under bidder's bids are also with this seller. This makes me wonder if these 3 are somehow related.

If there is shilling going on it's not very smart.
When the auction closes the FVF is charged.
And if the seller works some sort of scam (NPB, SNAD, etc.) ebay will pick up on that.

Agreed, the coin would have to be one of the super grades to be worth that much.
From what I can see it's not even FB; the center band doesn't appear to be split.

I just do not understand why it would be worth that much.

Maybe it's some kind of illegal thing going on. Like pay this amount on ebay and I'll send you some drugs or something with it.

Maybe it's a credit scam?

You know like ripping the credit card company off by not paying the bill.
