Is the coin 1 oz of 99.99% silver?  If so, and if the auction is not over, I bit 6.9 BTC.

I think it ended a little while ago. If not I'll go 7 ;)

Highest bid 7 (Sorry for misunderstanding mistype on my part scheduled to end Monday at 6pm. PST)

Woah, ok, that changes everything.  Thanks for letting us know.

Also, what is the weight and composition of the coin?

There is composition of coin^
:)

Ok, thanks. That's what I wanted to know.

Wait what?? You did not like the ending price of the auction so you will keep it going? Can you do that?

He could do that but then he would undermine any confidence people would have in future auctions.

This is a tricky one because the end time was not stated in "board time" so people need to convert the time zones and it's confusing.

Add a "mistype" for the ending time after a flurry of bidding and some bidders may start to question the outcome.

If my bid was behind the original end time of the auction I will stick to my bid. If my bid is after the original ending time then I will not be bidding further since I was under the impression this auction ended at a time that was different from when it is now supposed to end.

This guy won the auction. If he is not able to buy the coin I would like to ask the admins if this is considered a scam by the forum rules. The time was clearly stated. I looked up the timezone and I bet Vitaliy did as well...  He was 3 seconds before the end.

A mistype noticed days after is in my book some BS...

I bid 1000 BTC btw...   

(I did not double check this so I might have mistyped something... I am sure OP will understand...)

Hey, surely you are right here, but I don't think there's a need for this sort of post. Wouldn't it be better for the community, you reputation, your business, if you kept this sort of thing out of the auction forum?

Thank you for doing the timezone math ;)

I am very happy with my reputation.

Thank you.

That's my take on it as well.

Original post says it ends Thursday 6PM PST.  And you meant to type Monday?  ???

He was off a letter, I mean 5 BTC....

For the record, all silver commemorative dollars from the US mint are 'coin' silver (90% silver) and have about total of ~ 0.77 ozt of silver.

Yeah, this is bogus.  I really suggest the OP should step up, apologize, and retract the change.

A coin like this is pretty much worth the melt value only, and as the original auction date neared its end the price basically shot up to melt value + small premium + shipping.  This is what usually happens in coin auctions.  The price isn't going to go up significantly.

The coin is approx. 3/4 oz of silver, so at current silver prices (~$30/oz) it's worth about $23, which is currrently about 6 BTC ($3.85/BTC).

Even if I had won the auction I do not think I would trust the seller to ship it at this point anyway.

Thanks Goat :) I'll remember you're kindness later on :P

Vitaliy wins with 6.7 btc, no problem sorry for the confusion created on my behalf.

Lol stupid me, your*** 14 hour work days aren't good for the mind :(

That's correct, I looked this up to be sure since there's a few hours difference in EST.


I have been notified by kujoking7 as being the winner.

Considering the "misunderstanding mistype" in this auction, I will go through with my bid if he agrees to send first.

Sounds reasonable.

Update:
After I won, OP told me that this was 'supposedly' shipped on the week of 12/26/2011.
One month has passed and no coin has been received.
kujoking7 what is the status of this, can you provide a tracking number?

There are about 10 threads now calling this guy a scammer. Did you pay in advance?

No he didn't pay in advance, and sorry but I sold it to a friend.

Vitaliy didnt you also win 100$ apple gift card for 30$ ?

So you just lied to Vitaliy?

not surprising, considering he lied about his loan payments.

What am I missing, why does this guy not have a scammers tag?

Because the investigation is ongoing.

That is correct. I have won two auctions on these forums and neither seller honored their part of the transaction.

IMO, this Auctions forum needs to have a rule set up by a Moderator that gives the scammer label to people who do these kind of things.
