Default Princess Di or the Great Gazoo? You decide...

looks like the shill bidder got caught being the high bid. Wonder if
Marshmaker will bid on it again?


Frank and I have had our differences. For example, the claimed "retail"
price of $50 or $55 for this coin is higher than the MS-63 listings
either at PCGS or Coinvaluesonline.

That said, Frank does offer a 14-day return privilege, and there was
plenty of time between these two auctions for the buyer to exercise
it. The buyer has bid on and won other silver dollar auctions at or
near real retail prices.

I see no reason to assume a shill transaction here.

Turning to the original coin, the title claims it's a 1997 Princess
Diana $5 Commemorative, but the description is for a 1990 Battle of
Britain commemorative $5 coin. Now _that_ would make an interesting
(and ironic) muled coin.
