Check Out this "Solid Mint State, prooflike" Gold Coin
I am used to overgrading and misattribution in eBay auctions (who
isn't?), but this is the most egregious I have seen in quite a while. Here is a mutilated coin, which somehow remains in "solid Mint State and prooflike" condition! (Sorry about the wrap--this is eBay Item number 330306681148 if you have difficulty seeing it.) http://cgi.ebay.com/1762-British-Gol...em330306681148 Aaaaagh! Bob Leonard |

Bob Leonard MS details? A "bend and a scratch but pefectly normal".Funny. I've seen worse descriptions though. Look at what some of the suckers pay for USGS slabbed coins.Even thought the pictures show some of the worst,cleaned,scatched beat up and worn coins they still call them MS 65's or better. Oh,but they are "key" dates. |

Bob Leonard This is the best example I have ever seen of overgrading of a UK coin on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=250047058240 Not a proof, not mirror fields but a cleaned and battered circulation strike that is worth only the metal content, I hope that the seller does not drive with eyesight this bad.
