[creskol]

The reason I ask is because I got one in change yesterday that looks just like it?

Because Etsy reels in idiots who pay without doing their research. Look at other coins on there that are not: (a) key date, (b) mint errors.

It MIGHT be a D over D error, but in that case I would give you $5.00 for it.

I’d be the same way. The condition of the coin is horrendous. To a collector, and also as a buyer you have to be wanting a coin in amazing condition if it’s an error, but in the case of key dates it’s a little different. Case in point a 1916D Mercury dime can be ugly as snot and still bring big bucks

Nailed it right on the head[emoji23] which looks like someone’s done with this poor wheat cent. I’ve dug cleaner ones that were older than that one, especially less damaged around the rim.

That is only the sellers asking price, correct?

Pint***st is another site with stupid listings by greedy sellers.
(or they just put this stuff up to keep their site active. Maybe it's monkey see monkey do, when they see other listings with exorbitant prices?)

Yeah I’d have sent him back, looks just like every other Lincoln head I’ve seen on other wheat cents to modern cents.

 

[Mackaydon]

Let me guess.........he'll be rather 'soft' on his price.
Ask if he provides a Certificate of Authenticity.

I'd let him know that yours is for sale to him for half that price but, he must act quickly to this limited one-time offer.

The one shown could be an error or an someone payed way to much for the coin

Man .. What a deal, Ken .. Somebody ought to jump on that!

 

[mirage83]

Absolutely nothing. Unless of course someone with more money than brains actually ponies up for it. All kinds of dumb out there.

 

[Bquamb]

If people actually buy these thinking they're ... "Something" ... Whats wrong with people now a day...

For 5k I have a better example of that coin...

No greening or anything.

I told him that it looked like ordinary post mint damage and here is his comical reply!

he or She must have watched allot of the Shopping Channel.
I Don't know if it still Exists, But back around 2000 They were selling Toasted Morgans.
& The so Called Expert, had the Audacity to say, The reason they were Asking 2 or 3 Times Melt
Was because by looking at them You could see They passed Through Many Hands,
Making them Especially Important & If their Online Counters of Sales were Accurate, They were Falling for it.
I believe they were all 1900 Morgans being sold as "100 Years Old !!!!!!!!"
For around $100.00 each. Was a Long time ago So my Pricing may not be accurate.

anyway, I Can almost guarantee the Honest Grading services would send that back in a Body Bag due to Damage

Jeff, like they said, whoever they are, its always something.
