RWB Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The key word is in the title "Crooked." Will not win the national Spelling Bee, either. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Spud Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I don’t think anybody will fall for that one or for his missing P Lincoln fake error coin either Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Abshier Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The Seller has a (0) rating . Scammer !!!! Ebay bad at weeding them out , my sister once fell for something on eBay not paying attention she didn’t realize the seller had ZERO rating she spent over $200+ for something , well guess what seller closed the account few days later just after they said they shipped something . Turned out to be a empty box… she never did get money back , when she contacted ebay they said “it shows the package was delivered” nothing they could do about it … Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Abshier Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I only deal with sellers on eBay who have 100% rating that been selling coins on eBay for few years … I might make an exception for sellers with 99.5% rating sometimes … there are buyers on there that are just as bad as scamming seller these buyers like to make a seller look bad sometimes by leaving a bad review … I even heard of some well know coin dealers on eBay shipping someone a coin later they complain the package was empty blah blah blah that dealer lost money and the coin … eBay is starting to get bad full of scammers ! It’s goes both way but lately I been hearing eBay sides with the sellers but sometimes that’s not always good like what happened to my sister she was ripped off by a phony seller who quickly closed their account and took her money to send an empty package Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Well Lem you have some amazing Jefferson’s, but I bet even in your top notch collection you don’t have an MS65 FS that looks like that. Talk about a conversation piece. “I bet you can’t guess the grade of this bad boy” Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P M Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Wow ........Crooked ....... Man people are unscrupulous with no conscience .. I still have this roll of nice shiny Uncirculated nickels as a reminder of how some people care not what they sell. They must be worth $1000 each on the Crooked coin seller site?

Greenstang Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It is against eBay policy to have a numeric grade on a raw coin. Been reported. Hopefully will be removed by end of day. Jason Abshier and Lem E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Been removed by eBay Can't do much about the Lincoln's as that is the sellers opinion about the grade. Woods020 and Lem E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I reported the miscreant for a number of reasons... No. 1: misspelling nickel. No. 2: Lack of a single bid recorded or even an offer being made. No. 3: the Mint mark was not crooked or misplaced; it was missing entirely unless you believe in the theory of nocturnal mintmark migration. No. 4 : as hereinabove stated, no coin I saw was encapsulated. Assigning it a grade allegedly certified by a TPGS is, to me, a worser crime than counterfeiting. No. 5: if there were any reviews, I did not see any. Eternal vigilance is an invaluable tool to use to shine a glaring spotlight on scamsters -- but it requires responsibility as it inevitably reflects on a seller's reputation, and livelihood. 🐓 Edited July 31, 2021 by Quintus Arrius Typos confirming my illiteracy Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of particular annoyance to me is "woke," and "baby mama." Is it really expecting too much of people to accept the overall utility of the apostrophe in "my baby's mother?"

Must have been pretty bad Yea this thread doesn’t make much sense if you didn’t see the auction. Basically you had a very circulated raw nickel with possible corrosion being labeled as a NGC MS-655FS coin. Clearly it was neither mint state or encapsulated. Maybe the D mint mark was a little off. Starting bid of $500. It needed to be removed. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
