I'm not familiar with this Third Party Grading Service slab... Anyone care to translate?

Their optimism could almost be considered admirable were it not for them being crazy.

Chafemasterj, that's crazy! I just see a normal Lincoln Memorial cent worth 1 cent. I can't believe that the seller wants 50.00 for it.

Seller has zero Feedback; does not accept returns; and this is the only item he has for sale... I doubt he'll get any takers.

How about a unique dual-dated 1971/1975 British 2p piece? It's unique! Unfortunately only the reverse is pictured...

Rather than being dual dated, it looks like two coins are available and the buyer can choose either the 1971 or 1975 date.

So the question remains, which date is the better deal for 49 pounds?

And how can you claim something is unique when you offer two of them?

You're right.

Both coins are worth face value, but 1975 isn't as ridiculously common as 1971. I've been keeping a note of every 2p I've had in change over the past few months: there have been 192. 24 were dared 1971 (the most common date of all!) and 7 were dated 1975...

A rare 'misprinted' example of the UK's commonest coin - looks like a typical 'road coin' to me!

Ok. I've seen a few ebay listings that made me wonder. This one is special in that regard. Be sure to read the description.

After blathering on like a mental case about his imagined error coins, the seller has the nerve to write "No cashiers checks - any illegal or coy behavior will be reported to the authorities."

Oh, and of course, "Seller does not accept returns."

This 2001P Rosevelt Dime Mint Error can be yours for only $1315.

Then in the description it says "However Its fairly easy to see George Washington's face when the picture is zoomed in on."

The photography is interesting, but it doesn't hide the fact that these supposedly 'rare' coins have a mintage of 1,454,856,520 and are worth 2 pence each!

The photograph makes me feel as though I'm at a gentleman's club.

This delightfully horrible 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent sold on ebay for $35.

I am not ashamed to say that I was a bidder on the auction.

It is quite the sight, looking as though worms ate it.
