Seller just sold this for $7,000. Anybody else notice something the seller missed on all of these coins? http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-Gold-Ty...12912666?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html%3F_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=331412912666&_rdc=1&nma=true&si=r7km9IQ22%252F9x%252FXj76bWbU%252F7XTG0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 |

Seller ended it with 0 bids. Did they figure out their mistake?

A friend of mine purchased the coins from this seller for $7,000. The seller ended the auction to sell him the coins. If you notice, the seller spotted that the 1916 Saint has an "s", but, he didn't notice the other coins had "s's". Apparently, this seller doesn't have a clue.

Any estimate on value here? Is $7,000 sounding like a rip?

Why would the seller not get these coins graded prior to selling?

Rip or not, I'd like to have those early S mint $1's and the $3. Finding early S small gold is tough.

He put 2 Liberty $2.50 in there instead of an Indian $2.50.

Well, if the 1860 $3 is a San Francisco coin, it could be worth the purchase price itself.

Assuming it is a genuine, problem free coin. I would think any seller selling coins in this price range would have them graded.

SuperDave, however if it does carry an S mintmark, I would suspect it is a fake. For that matter, it doesn't make sense to me to buy any pre-1933 gold that is not slabbed.

I would recommend against this purchase for anyone lacking serious intestinal fortitude, but I'd have taken the shot. Methinks g048406's friend is about to paste a stupid smile on his face. That holder probably hasn't changed in half a century.

I agree this set was probably put together a long time ago. However, some of the coins do not look uncirculated, in particular the $3, the early $2.50 and can't tell on the $1 coins

I see. That would certainly be a set to send in for immediate TPG authentication. The $500 or so cost for TPG could pay off big time and with buyer protection, could result in a return as well. |

I think he has a little headroom for a TPG at that price.  |
