kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/23/2023 9:09 pm What is the deal with these 1979 Susan B Anthony dollars "Rare FG" coins selling for $250-$500. Am I missing something? I've tried looking up this type of error with no luck. Please enlighten me. I just saw one go for $500.00 at a regular non ebay auction.

It boils down to either fraudsters taking advantage of idiots or something more sinister. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/23/2023 9:57 pm Somehow I missed that thread. I will look back. I noticed them on ebay for a long time now. I've tried looking them up before and came to the same conclusion. What caught me off guard was seeing a normal auction company sell one off with the same title as these people selling them on ebay. Usually they are better at vetting these things. Thanks Hondo Report this Post to the Staff

Same at the FBI, friend says basically the same thing ... this world is full of theives & vagabonds ... Report this Post to the Staff
