This seems bizarre. Two small pictures only. No refunds.

Seller is NewJen_ym0te

Book says it's worth over $10K.

How could someone bid that much with no returns with only two small pictures?

Why no refunds? It would make buyers more nervous and hurt the seller's price.

Is there some kind of e-bay guarantee if in fact it is a scam?

Suppose someone wins with $500....doesn't make sense from the seller's point of view.

Here are the pictures. Only 2.

Anyone have any insights? Heard of this seller? I will look them up on here.

Also VERY IMPORTANT, it's a major grader, PCGS.

Also it's from Rockport Texas, not overseas.

Try this.

If not do a search on 1918s Buffalo nickels, It's currently about $80 bid. Ends tomorrow morning.

The coin looks pretty good from the pictures. Not sure about MS65. Maybe it's a new "PCGS" which is a scam. Probably more like au58, which is in itself probably $500.

I think you know how this would end since you're asking

Yes you'd get your money back. Pay with a CC through paypal and you're good if its a scam.

A legit seller would cancel that and not eat a 10k loss.

Would they be allowed to cancel and just say the price wasn't good enough?

I wouldn't buy it. Listing looks suspicious. Poor grammar.

A seller can cancel a sale for any reason they want to, as they should be allowed to since buyers are allowed to back out of any purchase they want to before paying.

I suspect it is a hyjacked account.

Seller has done nothing but clothes the last year and suddenly jumps in to dealing in high dollar coins and stamps? Really?

look at the seller's sold listings. The seller sold two 1910 Double Eagles on back to back days with the same cert number. The 1910 Double Eagles look like fake coins and fake PCGS holders.

Everything about this listing screams scam.

Up to $1200. If you're covered as a buyer, why not take the chance.
