A good example of a new bidder not doing his homework on what he is bidding on. $60.00 for 11 Nickel Dollars that is advertised as being Silver. 201294768344 |

the only thing I can say about this one is "Absolute Intention to Mislead"!!!!!!
When I see so much like this for example I can't but sit back and think how the percentage of society has turned to such measures ever since the inception of monetary value. Honestly it sickens me to try and understand that there are some people with no regard to self value....

The bidder that bid on that mess has only (1) bid in his feedback so, I presume he/she doesn't know the difference. |

What's going on with the rim on the 1977 dollar on the bottom left? Is that PMD or how it was made? |

Guys I have to disagree with you as much as we all here know these have no silver content, they are still 100% correctly identified as a "Silver" Dollar. the seller has not made any mention to silver content whatsoever.
I see people everyday on craigslist trying to sell post 68 dollars for $5 to $10 each.
The bidder should have done a bit of research, or perhaps he really wants one or more of these coins.

I notified the seller and he was apologetic for the error, and a note will be added. Hopefully, he will notify the bidder...

Hey Guys I also notified the seller and got the same response , Newby seller as well here , I think this was an honest mistake. Here is my comment You know these are not Silver , they are Nickle. Your auction is misleading and being discussed in a forum. As a new seller on ebay you might want to consider a correction to your auction  here is the response Hello, Thank you for informing me. I have added a note already to the ad and posted an email from another buyer saying the coins are not silver. Since there is less than 12 hours left in the auction I cannot cancel it nor make revisions. I will reimburse the highest bidder if they do not want the coins. Thank you again and I am very sorry. |

For the most part I think the majority of the population would refer to these as being Silver dollars although they are actually nickel.

Ace: I actually believe that calling these silver dollars is quite misleading... and shouldn't be used in the title or description... dollar coins or nickel dollars would be a lot more appropriate.
sounds like this seller made a genuine mistake and will make amends... that's great...
While these dollars may have been refered to as "silver dollars" as they once were silver dollars.. prior to '67.. they should be sold and described properly .... good job everyone!

The term silver in color is always used not silver in content.

The term "Silver dollar" refers to all of the Voyager series of dollars and has always been called this. just like the new dollar coin is called the Loonie. even though there are Loonies with no loons on them, they are still called loonies correct?
I am glad that the seller is responsive to the request, and who knows if he will actually go through with it, but is there zero responsibility to the bidder to actually be bidding on something he knows nothing about?

According to both Charlton & Coins of Canada Catalogues, the term "Silver Dollars" refers to dollars from 35 to 67.
From 68 to 87 they are referred to as "Nickel Dollars".
