I don't know if you can call it a rip off Smallcentguy...he didn't say it was RARE, or ONE OF A KIND, he just implied he had 2 coins with the center missing, if anyone wants to buy these for $25,00 each, then more power to them...  |

Not just one, but two eh? And "Missing core" in quotation marks too, like air quotes. Could this dealer scream "Beware"! any louder? I'll be honest, I don't actually know if these are fake or not, but he's sure sending up the red flags...

He is only selling this as a 1983 plated penny, no idea what it is plated with.

It's not a scam because he's selling it as what it is: a toonie with no core. He didn't say it was minted that way.

If you think that is 'selling coins honestly', then don't ever go shopping for a used car... The coin is damaged/defaced, and the seller knows it. I hold those ebay sellers in the same regard as those travelling silver & gold buyers. They want your money, for nothing in return. Pass judgement in any politically correct way you want, but I support smallcentguy in his original post. How would you feel if a novice collector bought this item? Or what if your mom spent $25 on this, thinking she was buying you something special? Sellers like these are detrimental to our hobby.

The coin is SILVER in color and it's PLATED.... So I am not wrong calling it silver plated.
He knows it's not natural... End of story.

If it's missing the core, is it only worth $1.00?
