[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 10207661, member: 22"]Many of the sellers are ignorant to what they have and copy other listings that may also be wrong. Lots of people in the numismatic world have cottoned on, but 20 years ago I used to clean up on eBay searches for Gold and Silver coins by entering Glod and Sliver, quite a few people had fat fingers or couldn't spell. :D Palestinian coins became quite a rarity and some silver ones very valuable. A local coin dealer used to list his Palestine coins on eBay, but he couldn't spell Palestine, he used Plalastine, it did not come up in the searches, and he could not get his head around that no one bid on them except me and I got them for the opening bid:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
