Another hilarious seller on ebay is (retailleaderpa). One of his more hilarious sells is this: A 1937-F (yes, he thinks this is an F mintmark) Buffalo nickel all for the very low price of $1,169.99, with 4.99 shipping. Well this is an average Joe buffalo not worth a dollar.

It even warrants a 2:18 YouTube video. What a coin.

Why on earth would anyone spend the money to have that graded is beyond me...

Quote: Why on earth would anyone spend the money to have that graded is beyond me... The seller offers a large number of PCGS-graded coins... It could be that they needed another coin to make a certain discount tier that would make all of the other coins submitted less expensive, or they had a coupon for a free/low price submission and decided to use it on the coin offered. (A local dealer I know has experienced both scenarios.) I wonder if they were thinking they had a good "low ball" candidate?

Whatever the reason for slabbing, $34 is crazy high for AG grade.

Maybe somebody thought it was some kind of "error" like a lot of new collectors post here on CCF.

To qualify for a "lowball", don't they have to straight grade?

I noticed the ebay payment system is/was broken today. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

I see a lot of rubbish coins on ebay, but this seller just takes the gold medal for the sheer number of items posted and the standard of the photography... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremel...402780590936 Ironically, the scarcest and most collectable coin they've listed, a 2011 Olympic Hockey 50p, which might fetch £3 on a good day, is actually one of the cheapest - a real bargain at £50! Which coin catalog are they using to get their prices?
