Eurocoin Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Any reasons why the price is so rocket high? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180137846931 Way too high for a modern coin! Mintage is 2000 pieces and there are themes like millennium,space,train,computer...so maybe rich themecollectors or collectors whose collects coins from former USSR area raises the prices?

NumisMattic2200 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I can tell you why it's so high - it's sought after! If you look at the bids, so far there's been 16 bids from 5 different anonymous bidders, all with trouser pockets deep enough to sink the titanic. It's also got images that surround space exploration and that suggests some important even that would have been launched in Khzakhstan at some point around the year 1999. Low mintage of 2000 also, seems like a group of high-flying collectors see this as a 'must' in their collection!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Any reasons why the price is so rocket high? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180137846931 Way too high for a modern coin! It does seem like an extremely high price for an NCLT issue. If it was offered to me at a coin show, I might consider paying possibly as much as 15% to 25% over melt, but $1,383.00 is far, far beyond that price range.

saankarite Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I think that this is a fake auction, and the bidder 3 and bidder 5 tried to raise the price.. If you look at the bids, bidder 5 raised the price from 221 to 1300.. other strange thing is that they have almost 50% of all the transactions with this seller.. i don't think they actually bought the coin!!

You might be right. Ebay is a minefield for the unwary, with people selling things they don't own, lots of fakes and shill bidders as well. I don't know if there was any funny business going on in this auction, but it certainly wouldn't be unusual for ebay if that were the case.

gxseries Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well I don't know but it seems Kazakhstan coin values seem to be going up a bit too fast in my opinion: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=110150958963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only positive note about eBay's new feature of anonymous bidding is that even though it blocks your ID from wandering eyes, it still shows your feedback stars. If you notice, bidder 5 doesn't have a star, which means he has less than 10 feedback rating. A definite red flag, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
