The seller sold the coin at their shop or determined that something was wrong with the listing and ended it to re-post.

That's looks like a "far 2", worth 800$ in EF. Someone scooped it up for nothing.

Somebody made a side deal to buy it on the assumption that it was a far 2.

Quite an established seller, possible that someone who knows him tipped him off as to the value of the variety. Not always is it a dog eat dog world.....

It is a Far 2 and a very nice one. It's out there somewhere today. A good catch!

The seller pulled the listing "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available".
If it had sold it would indicate "This listing has ended".

If the buyer had convinced the seller to do a buy it now it would say sold. So you are probably right Wildflower. But if the buyer and seller agreed to do a sale and part of the negotiation was to do it off ebay to save fees, then it could still have been sold without saying so. Of course one could contact the selller and find out for sure what hapened to the coin. |

That's the nicest Far 2 I've seen. I'm not sure I'd call it AU but it's close.

Aswag I agree with that, a very fine example. To my earlier point, I'd have a question for others here who are also established sellers on ebay. If you were somewhat acquainted with another seller, say having attended coin shows together, sat around chatting afterward having a few beer or whatnot, and that person listed something of value on ebay that obviously they weren't aware of, would you let them know without expecting anything in return? (I'm thinking the answer is likely "yes". While the seller network is indeed competitive, it's natural they also often look out for one another. That often occurs in any type of business scenario, whether people realize it or not:-). It's follows the premise of one good turn deserves another.) |

Sellers have every right to end a listing for whatever reason, if it is not sold or has no bids. Done all the time.

I inquired about the coin. It has been sent to NGC for certification and will be up for re-auction in a few weeks.

 The standard of ethics in which dealers might apply to one another (assuming in a hypothetical situation the seller is respected) is most likely similar to their manner of honest dealings with their customers as well:-) Edited by wildflowerAB

It will be interesting to see if NGC grades it as a Far 2 (which I believe would be a first for them) or will they just call it a 1932.

The seller just relisted the coin with an NGC AU50 Far 2 designation (for only $750 USD/ $940 CAD). I'd call it XF45 as it has too many dings to be called AU in my opinion. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1932-Far-2-C...3364?_trksidUnfortunately when one looks at the NGC census -- they haven't broken out 1932 Far 2s as a separate line and have all 1932s lumped together. PCGS on the other hand has started to break out the Far 2s -- they currently have 2 Far 2s graded (F15 & VF25). |
