I am thinking the seller thinks they have a Goodacre dollar.
When they came out they presented the designer with 5000 coins.
You can find them slabbed, and selling at a high price.
Not sure if there is anything unique about them.
In my opinion this sellers coin is just a regular coin.

With the desire to have these coins preserved and permanently identified, Ms. Goodacre had all 5,000 of the presentation coins certified and sealed by Independent Coin Grading Company (ICG). ICG began encapsulating these coins on August 8, 2000. On this day they encapsulated 120 coins beginning with the numbers 2003-2122. The remainder were to be encapsulated at a later date. Numbers 2003 to 4999 were sold to the public for $200 each. The remaining numbers were retained by Ms. Goodacre. from http://www.smalldollars.comWell, it still doesn't prove it's an ordinary dollar. But....  |

Did someone contact him? He ended the auction "because there was an error in the listing". Yeah, I'd say so...

Maybe he had an offer for a straightjacket in exchange for the coin?

The topper is that he misspelled his user name.

I thought about contacting the seller to "ask a question" but refrained. I know there are many here who do police ebay and try to keep sellers honest, but nothing is organized. Perhaps we could have a section dedicated to suspect listings and invite forum members to contact the sellers. |

If anyone wants a real "Cheerios" dollar, Harlan J Berk has a real nice on up for sale on their site. PCGS MS68 $10,000. It is a beauty.

I did send the seller a message this morning ... seller did not respond.
So not sure if it had anything to do with it coming down

I also replied to the seller and informed him of the actual mintage of the coin

Good for you guys, and any one else who did. I think we all should - as long as you know enough about the coin in question to point out the errors.
I like Duke's idea. It would be a good way for all of us CCF members to help out the worldwide coin collecting community. Members (like myself) who don't know enough to flat out say something is wrong could post auctions we run across that don't look "right". Those who do know could either verify or discount our suspicions. This would also be an excellent way for us less experienced collectors to learn from the experienced ones.

I am assuming it was a novice mistake and he saw an article about the 5000 2000 P SAC's and missed one tiny detail...it was taken down properly

I'm torn between bidding on his error USA 5c or the Wallace and Grommet figurines. So many choices...
