Still have the Gold/Silver Graded coin available forsale.

I think I remember them being in the 5-6BTC range

What did they go for? What's the market at for these two coins?
Much more than the offers listed in this thread, but a little less than the listed price.
You've removed most of the list prices (replaced with "Sold"), so it's still a mystery...
You should have written them down
I updated the listing with the original list pricing. July 08, 2014, 02:50:36 PM

Am I doing the escrow?
No - I have arranged escrow through DannyHamilton, but an alter-ego-alt provided scamming escrow to someone

I just realized that I got scammed. A user djjackett PM'd me that my offer was accepted and then used a fake Yankee account for the 'escrow'.
I want to jump out a fucking window right now. I thought I was done with this shit. Another thousand dollars fucking gone.
I will happily pay double that for these motherfuckers on a stick.
I'm sick to my fucking stomach right now.

Sorry to hear about this. If the deal looks too good to be true, it may be a scam. A buyer also tried to scam me to send the coins with a fake escrow.
Also it is usually advisable to make your offers via PM directly to the user in addition to the thread and be diligent in your vetting of the users. Good escrow providers will GPG sign their escrow agreements and payment addresses so you can validate that it is actually them and not a fake or hacked forum account.
I am a bit surprised about the bidding - I know the prices for physical coins are low right now, but 1.5BTC bid on a 1 BTC Gold/Silver 1Ag6DvHx MS65 Grade is shocking to me.
I think it is more of people looking to lowball offers hoping to find a desperate seller. I have a current deal pending escrow on the 1 BTC and .5 BTC Graded silver coins.

I've read at least 10 stories like this before. Don't get caught up in the moment. Scammers watch the threads carefully looking for any opportunity that can make them something. Always make sure to double check, I think Yankee may even sign his messages with a PGP key but not sure. Regardless, sorry for the loss, but take it as a lesson and you'll be guaranteed not to make the same mistake again

LMAO... yeah they tried to scam me too, I just ignored them. Maybe I should have said something earlier but seeing a name like yankie bit1nstant i figured nobody would fall for it.

Hi, I would pay 1.8 for each of the 1 btc coins, 3.6 total. Btc would be to Yankee as soon as we have an agreement. I would pay shipping and escrow fees with Yankee.

Sorry guys - none of these bids are anywhere close enough to the point where I would be willing to let one go.
Well then, I'm done bidding. My offer will stand for 48 hours in case you change your mind.
I paid more than 1.5 initially for the All Silver coin.
