The seller must be doing something to avoid the ebay fees or something..

Marve65, ouch!  I think the ebay seller used that AI to type out the description. There's also no mention of the cleaning either! 
Errers and Varietys.

Are you sure they ain't just polishing marks from a mint worker? Maybe that die had an outrageous clash

Seller includes pictures of his scope screen to show damage in greater detail and an image of a nice one so that you'd know what this coin once looked like. I "watched" this auction and seller promptly made me an offer of 10% off. They declined my counteroffer of $2. 1815 HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA SHIPS CANADA HALF PENNY TOKEN COIN with Hole - Poor $24 335510090081
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I've seen worse deals on ebay... In VG this should be about $6 canadian, so in this condition it should be in the junk bin @ 15-25 cents. So only inflated by a factor of 100 to 200.

Bernblast has some amazingly overpriced and poorly photographed UK pocket change! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334141952923? Here is a very common 1978 2 pence coin worth face value!  Ironically, the scarcest and most valuable of the coins he's listed, a London/Rio Olympics Handover commemorative £2 coin (worth about £10) is actually his cheapest coin!
