FA: 1893-S Morgan Dollar compared with AU-50

Both certified by PCGS, the EF-45 now for auction was graded about 12 years ago
and he AU-50 that I sold several months ago was graded this year. I hope you
can see these images. If you can, I will go back and end my earlier auctions
and re-list with same text but new images. Perhaps then you'll see them all.

Ira, I am risking being considered a dork here, but in an auction of
this calibre, you've just *gotta* use a spell-checker on your text.
There's always a chance that a potential bidder who doesn't already know
you and your history of offering top end items on Ebay may hesitate
because of all the typos. They just don't do your reputation and
professionalism justice. Your insistance on the best quality images can
be hurt when the text isn't given the same treatment.

Please take this as a constructive suggestion! I join the others here
in salivating over your choice auctions, fanticizing mental budget
manipulations to justify adding one of your gems to our collection.

Oh, yes. I have never had difficulty seeing your auction images, but
then I'm using Netscape.

Regards,

Bruce

Some things are difficult to bring to another's attention when there is the
possibility of "rubbing them the wrong way." One of the "higher ups" in the
company that I work for says "pitcher" (as in water pouring or baseball
heaving) when he's referring to a photograph. I've heard him say that word
numerous times. One day I sent him an email, and sought to tactfully point
out his misuse of the word "pitcher" as opposed to "picture" in that sense.
Prior to my sending the note, I had enjoyed a warm relationship with him. He
immediately fired back a retort to me, denying that he had ever said
"pitcher" instead of "picture", but that clearly has not been the case...
Anyway, that episode has been detrimental to my vocational relationship with
him, which I regret. I guess I should have kept silent, though I'm
reasonably certain that I would welcome someone "filling me in" if the
situation were reversed.

Hats off to you, Bruce, for desiring to be helpful. Seeing something that
has numerous typos in it may have an adverse effect on some folks, while
others won't give it a second thought. I only know of Ira what I've read
here and there in this newsgroup in the past few months. I can readily see
that he is well thought of in this newsgroup, is highly respected in the
numismatic community, and is a tremendous help to those of us who are nuts
about collecting coins. I'm confident that he desires his auctions to be
"top notch" in every way and I would think that he will take your advice to
heart, and apply it.

I find Ira's typos to be one of those endearing little things, but
that's because I know Ira. I agree that I also look at auctions with a
slightly jaundiced eye when they are riddled with typos, just as I do
when the text is in all caps or there are annoying sounds, etc, when I
don't know the seller. OTOH, having a new computer, I can also
sympathize. The keyboard on this one is not as sensitive as the old one,
and I have made more typos in the last two weeks than I have in the last
two years!

Ira, sorry I am replying to myself. I just looked at the auction, and it
loaded fine for me. I'm going to look at your other auctions now, and if
I have any problems I will let you know. I have a brand-new computer
running a fully-updated IE 6. And about the typos, it really looks like
the same thing is happening to you that happens to me on this new
keyboard...you type letters but aren't hitting the key hard enough for
the letter to register. On your keyboard it's the "e"...most of the
typos are missing Es. On mine it's kind of a mix of missing letters. (

I can see the pictures fine but the price of that coin made me look
twice : ) I wish I had that kind of expendable cash. Ed

Yep, I know about the typos. There's no spell check for the Andale text, at
least in the Mac world. (nor AOL's newsgroup postings.)

I had a nerve injury to my left arm as a kid and 3 fingers are mostly without
sensation in my hand, so I could never learn to type. Can't feel if I am ON the
key or between them! I am pretty fast with hunt & peck but not particularly
accurate. Usually, when I enter listing late at night which I did with this one
I am prone to make mistakes. When I am wide awake I try to read them all and
then correct the mistakes in spelling. I believe I got most of them.

It looks like most are able to see my auctions now, so for that I'm quite
relieved.

No offense taken, Bruce.
(so now Bruce ridicules the disabled?) Smiley face here.

This is for the windows world too but, often, I can select the text out
of an input box, copy it, paste it into my word processor, spell check
it, copy it again and paste it back into the input box as a work around
for a no spell check problem. Just a thought...
