alexbq2 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 A Tinf just sold on eBay: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335826004&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=110609798138&item=170578267518 I did not like the seller's Private Bidding/No Returns policies so did not participate. But it might be real, although it is very hard to tell from those photos. Does anyone feel confident to call it's authenticity either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Let us wait, maybe the purchaser will come forward with the information after the coin arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorS Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 That's what collecting is all about - sometimes you need luck and not money. That evens the field now and then. I missed this auction a few days ago: http://rosenblumcoins.com/40j with 50 Russian roubles Noticed it a day too late. 2 coins would work nicely for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 The seller is a stand up guy, he deals mostly with paper money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 The seller is a stand up guy, he deals mostly with paper money though. It looked good with all that positive feedback. The terms are harsh, but I doubt the no-return policy is that strict -- after all why risk a negative feedback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Seems that the coin is going to New York. Please update us if there's any developments. Better images would also be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. The coin is in Brooklyn. Arrived 2 min. ago. These were very good numismatic few months for me. Do not think these are better photos... After all, the condition did not improve in transit. It has a removed mount (I wish they left it there), but it is original. Has all the right laminations. Weight -- 5.38 g.

BKB Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I did not think there was that much of a risk. The was a risk of Rarenum butting in and winning it from under me. But, I got lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I knew it was you BKB I didn't bid high enough Congradulations! Again, just because a seller doesn't accept returns or location mean that a coin is counterfeit. Thank you for showing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just because a seller doesn't accept returns or location mean that a coin is counterfeit. Thank you for showing! You would would have to bid much, much higher to win this one...

lennysky Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am looking for Shostak. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Shostak is fun. There are one or two in New York,NJ area. If you offer enough (I do not think I have enough $), they may part with a Shostak. Otherwise, you should travel to poland with a metal detector.

lennysky Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 My metal detector is rusting away at a landfill. I'm afraid to find one, my metal detector must be sofisticated enough to cost as mach as a Shostak. Maybe I should jus tmake an offer and save myself a long, tiring trip.

You can try..but to tell the trouth never met this coin from the source like that. It is much more rare than tynf. Maybe you thought about 6 groschen or 1/6 of taler from Elisabeth period.. those are possible to obtain, but not shostak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
