Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 03/17/2010 6:36 pm In a mildly unrelated note, I was looking at other 20 cent pieces for sale on the Bay and found this seller rarecoinwholesalersca http://shop.ebay.com/rarecoinwholes...trksid=p4340. Holy crap! Those are some mighty bold BIN prices given the 0 feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

Rather than boring, I'm now thinking of it as safe. It's the only 20 Cent that isn't really worth counterfeiting....so it's looking better and better all the time :) Report this Post to the Staff

More power to ya I guess I wouldn't want it without some type of guarantee because by the time it got back from the TPG in a body bag your time limit could be up from paypal unless you shipped it out right away. Still more of a chance than I would want to take especially with the added pictures he has added, its definitely been cleaned so getting it in a problem free slab is out of the question. As far as the 8 in the date as a indicator of authenticity, here is a replica that has the same feature so thats not a good indicator to me http://cgi.ebay.com/Replica-1877-Si...ns_W0QQitemZ 250584495693QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item3a57fff64d Report this Post to the Staff

I am guessing he is just sparking interest in the coins so people will go to his website to purchase the coins or he is trying to start a new ebay name for some reason. I am sure if you google the name without the ca (probably stands for California) on the end you will see this is the one who purchased the king of siam coins pictured here What I do not like is they make you create a sign up name to even see the inventory on their site but hey they are probably the same thing you can see in his ebay auctions here Report this Post to the Staff
