While it will certainly get way too rich for my wallet, this 1880-S Morgan, which has been graded MS-68, is up for auction on ebay.

I have it bookmarked to see what the winning bid is.

It should be a fun one to watch.

Numismedia has it as a $5,000 coin, yet the bid is only $670 at this point. Quite a steal so far.

The serious bids have already been placed with the BOTS. The last 30 seconds could be interesting though.

I'd guess it'll go for somewhere around 3k to 4K $

Am I the only one that doesn't seem this deserving of a MS68

To me it has the look of a GSA coin.
Rubs on the cheek which could be due to bagginess, UNC but ....
My main problem is the lack of quality images.
-- no nice closeup of the obverse
-- no image of the reverse at all

The $3527.76 bid placed early Monday morning held up.

Surprisingly, no last second bidding.

Hope the new owner likes it!

Ok. Weird.

It sold for $3500 right? Why did the seller just relist it? Also, the seller has a relatively new account and all items listed seemingly were high dollar coins. No real history as a seller. Stolen account maybe?

I'd definitely be wary of a new account selling expensive coins and then all of a sudden your seeing relistings....

Just went through their ebay history. No record as a seller, and buying activity limited to Tech, hardware, and skincare products. No numismatic content as far as I can tell. Last feedback was received over a year ago. All this to me indicates a stolen account. I'd love for Bobby or nss to see this to get their input.

Edit: found history as a seller all recorded sales have been in the last 24 hours and are as follows.

1x roll of 2010 Silver eagles for $491
1x PAMP Platinum 1oz bar for $996
1x roll of 2014 maple leaves for $572
1x roll of 2013 silver eagles for $496
1x Kilo Koala Silver Coin for $748
The 1880-S for $3500
1x Roll of 2013 maple leaves for $567

In the event this is a scam the scammer has a potential income of almost $7400.
