There have been a whole slew of expensively priced common modern coins offered by sellers with zero feedback recently.

I think these are all offered by one seller.

They even bid twice to make sure the coin didn't get sniped at the last second!

You gotta love this one!

It's a "1917 weat back penny aberham Lincoln s" opening at $34.00.

Other than the fact that is it a 1918-S, it is a stellar example of spelling ability.

Not only all that, Paul, but the seller requires Local Pickup only from Vancouver, Washington! So the lucky winner gets to meet this Spelling Bee savante.

At least this person has better spelling skills. The numismatic skills are still lacking

The seller doesn't know anything about them, except they are old.

And they can be yours for only $405.

And another. An 1851 Braided Hair Large Cent. However, the opening bid is only $1.00.

Is he thinking of card grading which goes on a 1-10 scale? Either way he's got a great deal

One that jason39305 posted a couple of weeks ago. It SOLD for $76! I did some searching and found the real ANACS graded coin. I wonder if the buyer followed through on the sale.

I'm watching the feedback to see if the buyer is happy or not.

Edited to correct my dyslexia.

From what I can see here, the seller may net a cool 5 cents out of this Kennedy half dollar if the bid stays at 55 cents. I don't know tho, is there not an ebay listing fee and/or or paypal fee most of the time tho? If so, would this mean that the seller would be taking a loss?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-D-Ken...AOSw4DJdOPTU

btw, I have one exactly like it if anybody here wants to wheel and deal about it before it lists on the bay. Only the high-end members here need to flood my inbox about it tho...

Apparently, that seller ran into some common Kennedy halves in decent shape and decided to see what happens. That's all they have listed. It's an exercise in futility, though. They're gonna lose money with ebay and PayPal fees. Oh well.
