And not a pleasant one, either Image
http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-BU-Silver-Roos ... 230a413596 At least two bidders should have read the listing more carefully! And to think that I almost got sucked in on this one as well Image

description is clear - picture is misleading

1955 BU Silver Roosevelt Dime from Original Roll for your book, OR Silver Collection.

"I will select the best I have from this roll for you. They all Grade BU as shown. It will fill hole in your book.

I have MORE Available as seen in the picture. Need a better grade ? Ask, I may have one and the price will not be that much higher. "


Right, he is likely to send the same coin at a higher price. lol

Listing has an hour and a half left to run. I sent the seller an email to give him a headsup and, hopefully, save him the hassle of negative feedback over a misunderstanding Image

I don't see that the description is all that misleading. It clearly says "dime" (singular) out of a roll. Its obvious the bidders thought the auction was for a full roll. If the seller is any kind of an honest person at all they will not go through with the sale. That is why before I bid on anything I always read the description several times before I bid to make sure I am bidding on a full roll or bag and not just part of it.

Coinflation has as it'sfeatured auction this one gram silver bar.

Another smokin deal for "someone". http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0673068293

Sure wish I could get that for MY gram bars, lol, I'd consider E-bay again, ha ha.

I don't see the issue with the dime sellers description. If any fault I'd say it is with the buyers. Perhaps their attitude is to just "bid away" and complain to ebay when they don't get what they "thought was there".

The amazing thing is, the bid history on this gram bar shows some experienced bidders. The newbie in the lead doesn't surprise me, tho Image
