Paging planet crazy... Let's see... One photo (don't coins have at least two sides) The slab takes up only about 10% of the photo's area The coin takes up only about 5% of the photo's area It's an ACG PF69, so real world MAYBE PF67 He wants $450 (OBO) PCGS price guide for PF69 is $900 and $65 for PF67 (NGC is 825 and 90) So it's worth, what, maybe $60-70? http://www.ebay.com/itm/151797577589

Very funny. Looks like a MS66 tops. And anyway, maybe someone can calculate the precise percentages?

I don't mean to sound harsh, but at least those aren't coins getting damaged... still, though. People can be so ignorant.

Perhaps AU means almost ugly.

Maybe more like 'atrociously ugly'. I was just wondering- do you guys think the people that post these coins on ebay ever see this thread?

Ouch Numisma - defn of AU hit the nail on the head. No I actually don't think the people who post the coins on ebay are the kind of people who come here seeking knowledge. By the time you hit even 5 posts you actually learn something or you're a complete troll. And judging by the ebay listings these people are beyond teachable. While I'm thinking it let me update the old Mississippi riverboats saying: "if you look around the board and you don't know who the troll is, it's you"

Good point. So theoretically we can make fun of them as much as we want.
