Seriously?

Is it just me or has the MM on this coin been removed. 4 people are bidding on it. Are they blind or just stupid?

Yeah I saw that one.The people bidding on it obviously have no idea and even if they win it will probably still have no idea.They deserve what they get if they cant do the research first although it is a blatant ripoff and a misleading listing

The seller has seriously harmed his reputation and it has already cost him quite a bit of money.
I was underbidder on 2 high end sixpences last week from this seller, but once I saw this dodgy coin I decided to not risk upping my bids, so he got about $100 less than I had been intending to up my bids by.

He's not someone I'll ever buy off, regardless of what he's selling. :dodgy:

I was going to bid on this coin, but didn't like the photos. ( photos are taken at an angle .... Last time I looked at coin photos you don't do that unless you have to hide something ) I also noticed the MM been scratched off ... Why would you do that to another collector... If it was the real thing, I was happy to pay some money for it...

Nevol · April 27, 2014, 10:37:20 AM

The MM was probably S or D, so it was removed to try & make it look like it was a Melbourne one, which are waaaay scarcer than S or D. Shonky seller.
