Is There A Reason Why This Coin Shouldn't Sell?

Thanks Rob. I do agree that it could be but these babies were 100% copper and the patina is important to keep it real.

Here, have one of these:

Fair question and fair thread, though.

In my opinion, it didn't sell for two reasons: First, it's a bodybag coin for the surface porosity from any TPG - they'd call it Environmental Damage. This is likely a dug coin. Second, the auction representation implies that it *would* grade, casting a little doubt on your veracity as a seller.

We know better here, of course, but think about all the auctions we've posted and laughed at for their ridiculous claims. Not that this is in that category, but I felt a little bit of that about the auction, on a lesser scale. The fact that you have two of them listed, using the exact same photos (note the tiny tick in front of the nose), doesn't help.

This coin looks better in apperance imo and its cheaper

Definitely cleaned

also,starting your auction at 60.00 scares off some bidders....
