Pretty vague about what the disability is. I really hate seeing these stories. If they are true, it's really sad and they are fighting a never ending battle to pay for the rising medical costs. If it's not true, it's sad because someone with a kind heart might actually respond and get scammed.

snip> so I am hoping that someone might want a old coin not worth much but would like to help a great kid who will have alot to deal with in his lifetime But you never know. <unsnip.
Sadly, either the seller does not research the value, easily found {$100 max. USD}or does not know that any very valuable coin should NOT be simply stored in a basic stapled 2x2. I won't go into slabbed, or certified.

I have plenty of coins that were my grandfathers that are worth over 100.00 that are in 2x2's like this. heck one of the 55/55 Lincoln Cents that was in his collections was just in a paper towel wrapped around it with a rubber band around it. The VF-XF 1932-D Washington quarter was also in an old 2x2 with staples |

It's hard to reconcile the flippant tone of that auction to parents with a disabled kid.
Seriously, where I live there are plenty of programs to help families with real needs.

Every $100+ coin that I have bought has been in a 2x2. Just saying.  |

At least you'll get 200.00$ back in ebay bucks! |

Umm, Medicare covers 80% of most medical and all hospital costs, especially for a minor under 19, that is, if the parents are willing to fork over the quarterly premium. If they are completely broke, there is always state mandated Medi-Cal services, so such a sob story does not exactly fly. Because it's a minor that's disabled, you can bet s/he qualifies for SSI disability income, based off of the earnings of either parent. Life can be indeed, hard.

I was thinking the other day I gave a twenty dollar bill to some kids selling juice at a stand Bet he got change. Sorry, if you have money to throw around like that, I don't need your (probably fake) sob story. |

Biggfredd you are completely right on that, why is this guy giving away money and then asking for some?

What kills me is when he says he has no idea what it's worth. He just shot himself in the foot right there.
