Now look we tell c not to clean coins...


So is it really the fault of the seller that the shallower relief of the rear leg is hiding in the unmentionable Gunk that makes up the black part of the circulation cameos effect?

Here's an absolute gem from our pal Centsles: 382446565448

If this is "UNC", then either that's the worst strike I've ever seen, or "UNC" really means "EF details, cleaned and corroded". Wonder why this one isn't in one of his NNC holders.

This one is fun just because of the Freudian slip in the description: 1943-P JEFFERSON LAMENTATION ERROR

Since the shipping fee alone is about three times what the coin is worth, any buyer probably would lament the purchase.

Currency is allowed, right? There's no way I can't mention this. 153174988889

Pay close attention - it's even worse than it appears at first glance.

Olympic loonie in a specimen set? . If you need the 50 cent piece, it may work for you though. .

Here's a gorgeous RED PROOF 1880 IHC: 382611873642

You can tell this isn't just boilerplate from ebay that accidentally got left in either. This guy actually took the time to type that out.

I knew postal rates were going up, but his shipping cost seems a tad high.
