https://www.kagins.com/inventory/co...GS-au58.htmlReported what appears to be a scam on the bay where a 1795 is currently being offered for sale in link below. It is described as being in a PCGS VF20 holder, but the coin is clearly not VF20. It took me 2 minutes to find the coin being offered for $57,500 by Kagin's in the link above. As I write this, the bay has not taken it down. With 11 minutes to go, the bidding is at $1,025. Looks like someone hacked into the dormant account of a user with 100% feedback. Hope the bay prevents someone from loosing their dough. Screenshot in case the listing goes away. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3025433432...471758.m4703 IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

All we can do is report it. That may suck for ebay if the buyer pays. |

Sad that the winner probably thinks they stole it for that price.

Before I checked it out I was thinking of bidding on it. Some alarms:
1. Seller only had one listing.
2. Listing lasted a day and a half. (?)
3. Description said slabbed - did not provide picture of slab.
4. Slab grade was way off from the grade of the coin from examination.
5. The listing had no descriptive information about the coin.
Did I miss any?

If it was reported properly maybe we could have prevented this.
