Making Errors

[lucky2]

In refrence to making errors in the general discussion section have you seen the 1845 Doubled Die Trade Dollar on Ebay. I wrote and told the seller the coin was Bogus and counterfeit and what did he do? He put that information on the listing and said if anybody still wants it I will leave it listed. I think the bid now is 0ver 400 dollars and still going. I own one just like it, Should I sell it?~lucky2

atleast he was honest about it when he found out about it and yeah go ahead and give it a shot just be honest about your listing that is my advice

The problem is that most people don't read the fine print about a coin. There was a 1943 Copper Cent on Ebay last week. I emailed the seller and the two high bidders that it was just a 1948 Cent defaced to look like a three. The coin went for $515 dollars. The seller thanked me for my information, the second highest bidder finally stopped bidding and the hightest bidder got the shaft. All were contacted and only two acknowledged my information. They were the winners in this auction.

Careful Coop... Big Brother Meg doesn't like people contacting bidders... takes money out of her incredibly shallow pockets...

Ever read the coin docs stuff? He hits on so many of these alterations and debunks them, he mentions modified 48 cents too. I once read every page of his Q&As. I think it's pretty good. Does anyone know who the coin doc is?

I checked up on the 1948/43 episode on ebay and I see the seller is not a registered user anymore. Maybe Meg or the buyer shut him down. Or maybe its a conicidence that he just disappeared.
