FS: 1915-S $20 GOLD ST GAUDENS COIN

[coinstargold-migration]

I have a 1915-S $20 GOLD ST GAUDENS COIN for sale.I am asking $1200 for this coin. Shipping is free with this purchase.I only accept paypal as payment. I have a ebay account with over 1000 positive feedbacks so you can buy with confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[zboyle04]

that is a tough coin to sell raw and with this being your second post on here selling a higher dollar coin raw, i do not think you will have much luck. you would need a more established forum presence or excellent references

[coinstargold-migration]

Thanks for your advice. I have over 1000 positives on my ebay account.

Taking offers on the coin

[zboyle04]

but this is not ebay, there is little protection for buyer on here, that is why sales on here are based off of trust and references

[coinstargold-migration]

Paypal is 100% safe for the buyer more then for the seller in my experience but i do appreciate your comments and advice.

[mkman123]

what is your ebay userid so we can look at your feedback?

[Crohnos01]

I would possibly be interested, but as mkman says, give us your eBay I'd so we can look you up... That's a pretty hefty chunk of change when we don't know you.

Just a stock image used on multiple sites identified as 'popscreen'. They even have some pictures of GSC coins on there.

 

Google results for that image

 

Here is the 2012 actual sell of that coin on eBay.

 

Apparently this 'popscreen' web site is a bit questionable in what it is trying to do. Maybe a clearing house of old sells for all the con artist to utilize.

 

Then again, maybe you bought this coin in 2012 and just happen to be using the same exact pictures to sell it at a loss.

AND the plot thickens!!

As geocarol2007 on eBay, only sell the home stuff, nothing that is relating with coins. Also, I am not sure about this since wdrob found those 2 links that seems "fishy."

Yeah....until I see some other providence, the wallet is staying in my back pocket...

Warning - complete fraud - I sent a message to the supposed Ebay seller and she denied even knowing anything about what I was referring to:

Dear geocarol2007,

 

Good morning,

Are you currently selling a 1915 Saint Gaudens $20 gold coin on the NGC Chat board right now? A seller on the NGC chat board used your id and I wanted to verify.

 

Many thanks.

I think what gave them away as a fraud to me was the first post in USCoins: "Hi, I am just saying hello and thanks for letting me join the boards!"

I feel safer here than any site. You guys are better than paypal protection! Seriously, thank you to the handful of coin detectives / police. I really appreciate your watching out for all of us not just your personal purchases.

I find it somewhat amusing that people will try to pull stuff like this off here.

Google Chrome browser has a nice feature now where you can right click on a picture and "Search Google for this image". They do not just use the name in the search but actually do some sort of algorithmic operation on the image it's self, similar to facial recognition, and then return results.

 

That makes it much easier to identify where the origin of the picture came from. It returns results that are similar; in this case the blue background and the gold coin.

 

I would suggest that tool to anyone in the fight against possible scams.

 

 

Btw Mark; I think you should change your avatar to this.

I've got to be honest, I was tempted to reply to this thread in the beginning asking why zboyle was "grilling" the seller. Clearly, I'm too trusting

 

Good job keeping this place safe guys!

When I was younger I looked similar but not nearly as good as Tom Selik .

That car is a 308 – mine is a 328 !

[zboyle04]

[Coindude]

Mark probably has a nicer mustache!
