Not to sure about this auction -- your thoughts?

[Die Varieties]

I came across this eBay auction. Most of you know that I like to keep records of rotated dies and have a few in my personal collection. This auction is for a 2005-P Bison nickel with 90 degree rotation. Something about this auction makes my hair stand-up on the back of my neck. I know one thing -- if it was my coin the first thing I would do is send it in for certification. Wondered what your thoughts might be.

If I were selling it, I wouldn't be charging $25.00 for Express Mail. It also seems strange that he would have an "As is, No Refunds or Exchanges policy". It may be real, but I'd pass.

Ninety degrees "off center" Don't want to penalize someone for improper terminology, but . . . .

From reading his feedback -- I get the drift he doesn't deal with coins.

 

I'm more interested in that if it's legit -- it would make a great story for NN. What can I say -- I'm playing cub reporter for the Daily Planet.

 

I have sent an e-mail to the seller explaining who I am and the potential for a news article and requesting if able to examine a specimen for authentication and photographing. Again, if its legit and if he found this in a BU roll -- I highly suspect he has more than one.

 

Will see what happens.

Considering the picture is two coins, side by side, I doubt he has what he claims to have. Could have, but I seriously doubt it.

My first eBay rule is: Don't bid if there is a "no refund" policy!

Also $25 for shipping one nickel is a little much!
