331341615519This one looked intriguing but ended up just too risky for me. Why? 1. 3 Day auction (Why the rush?) 2. Low Feedback for seller 3. Sideways pictures (to me, ether inexperience with posting pics to ebay OR (maybe) an attempt to mislead) 4. Not slabbed (PARTICULARLY for a Trade dollar) What do you all think? Did the buyer get a good deal? Would you have bid on this coin?

1). Seller needed the money, 2) everybody has got to start somewhere, 3) may not know how to edit and post pics, 4) doesn't have time to await slabbing. OR... he is trying to unload a counterfeit coin he got stuck with. Seller even tells you that he'll give you a one week return period but after that " no return" as he will have spent the money. Seller is obviously new to ebay. Things don't quite work like that. The Buyer got a good deal if the coin is genuine. I would not have bid on it. |

I would not have bid on because this guy has zero feedback as a seller.

For some reason, I get a bad vibe from this listing. I'd say the buyer is putting all his chips on "OO" in the ebay casino. Colligo ergo sum

Looks kinda shifty. I'd pass.

Funny how the seller welcomed questions, but tells us to be patient because "I don't always have time to get on ebay." With only a three-day auction, patience can run out pretty quick. |

I know nothing about these but her hands, arm, nose and the wheat looks weird to me.
Feel free to call me Will.

My guess is a "bait & switch." I'd venture that the pic is not the coin the buyer will receive. It may be a Chinese Counterfeit, an overseas CC mint. Then, if the buyer tries to return it, the seller claims it's not the coin he sent. Just a hunch on my part ...

It may be instructive to monitor what the feedback on this transaction turns out to be.

Member since 2012, grand total of 7 Feedbacks, all purchases, all in the last month. And now all of a sudden he's selling a Carson City Trade dollar? I don't think so. Looks like a hijacked account to me. |

Looks like to me he has no feedback as a seller just a buyer. Unless I am seeing it wrong. I would stay clear.

Looks fake to me. Arm and hand are giveaways.

I'd say fake, but better than average fake.
