Don't have a RedBook close at hand but I have to wonder if this is a case of something I have frequently seen with people that know nothing about coins using a price guide. They find the series, the date and mintmark, and then they go all the way to the very last column on the right and THAT must be the value of their coin. Forget about all those other columns that they passed by, THEIR coin is worth what the last column says. No matter what condition the coin is really in. |

Some people instead of criticizing would contact this person and talk to them, but because you obviously know more then this person you choose to pick the ad apart instead of reaching out. That my friends is what's wrong with the world today! Just saying

So do I gather Tickscoins that you are the poster of said ad?
If that's the case, I am sorry that you had to see us all have some fun at your expense.
In my experience, someone who lists coins like those for such prices, will not be inviting to being educated.
If that is you, you break the stereotype, and you have come to learn. In short order you will be on the other side of this equation, and probably chuckle when you see an ad like that.

Tick,
I did reach out, below is my actual email & heads up.
I love old coins, I'm a long time collector, but you'll never sell at these asking prices. I hope you can take some ridicule.
Best of luck,
Ron

Yes, I am the creator of the said ad. Ron, I appreciate all you have told me and I have spoken of it to many people and I can't thank you enough for the information you have given me. That's why I'm here to learn. With that said, there were only 2 of you that either called me or worte me emails regarding the listing and for that I am grateful. Those listed prices were prices that my father wanted me to post and now I know better. I have a lot more that need to be listed.

Deceptive people won't do well in the CCF family. I post this to express what I feel is best for CCF members. Sometimes being all polite and tolerant has it's limits. I stick my neck out and say what I really feel about this. Tickscoins writes: Quote:

I think that being honest from the start instead hiding the fact that "this person" was actually the seller would have made a better impression. Besides that, at this posting, I don't see any effort to revise the Craigslist advert at all, or to anything close to reality. It is no different than it was on 11/07/17. Posting nonsense on Craigslist is going to get reaction like this. That my friends, is what is wrong with the world today! |

@TNG.
I have to agree. Until the ad is charged, Susan aka tickscoins has not shown a very honest side.
It appears, however, that she was posting these for her father, and he assigned the prices. Hard to judge a person in such a scenario.
A sticky spot to be in, if that's indeed what is happening here.
Selling at those prices would be borderline criminal....

Good god guys! If she's here to learn, then let her learn. Skip the drama and give the benefit of the doubt. It's kind of hard to judge someone off of 4 posts.

Tickscoins, sincerely apologize if comment bothered you. They all hold the truth tho, we see this constantly, almost everyday there are posters here with similar items/pricings. I too am one to contact sellers on ebay of "so-called" errors coins which are nothing more than intentionally damaged coins being pawned off to unsuspecting folks for megabucks. So far my track record of response is paltry at best. Of over 200 contacts I have received less than 10 replys, some have removed listings, others said they would accept my offer of assistance( of which I am still waiting). Many here have called it a "fool's errand", just may be, but keep doing it anyway. So please don't take personal offense. Edited by Crazyb0

I see crazy ads on CL all the time, and yes I do share them here from time to time. I didn't do this to ridicule or incite the CL poster, but apparently one of the CCF posters here chose to do that by contacting and sharing this original post. I hope you made your point by doing so, and I sure hope you feel better.
