Pauldog, I always hate it when sellers provide very poor and crappy photos!

I didn't even realize that the smaller piece of "wood" was just the container. That means that the "coin" is really the Smithsonian emblem embossed on the box.

Auction describes this as "coin as uncircualted or better". Perhaps it is a MS-71? Better hurry if you don't want to miss out.

Cointagous, I can't believe that the seller didn't even bother cropping down the photos.

I'm not sure what a "Mint Mart" is, but $150 will get you a spectacular 1943-DDO misplaced mint mart error GEM. The seller's description is, indeed, a GEM: "1943-misplaced S'mintmart DDO Lincoln Cent Rare RPM STEEL Near GEM With Amazing Toning."

Is a S'mintmart like a s'more? So what is this numismatic masterpiece? Here's the seller's awesome photo of his reprocessed 1943 cent with a plating bubble:

Or, if you are in the ,market for a less expensive coin, how about a 1958 D nicklel, graded & Guaranteed Authentic for 95 cents starting bid?

Those home-slabbed "nicklel" coins must be rare. Here's the slab (seller's photo):

The seller's description includes the following: "Great looking coin. Unknown who's the grading service. Slab as authentic MS 66."

Perhaps Ed-Bob's Garage and Slabbing?

Fortcollins, the only thing this coins deserves is to be broken out of this fake slab and pit in a normal 2x2.

Errers,
I think it should be taken out of its slab and spent.

This 1998-D " Cud Penny" can be yours for only $1,000!

The seller calls it a "very bad error" and wonders how it escaped the mint.

I know this isn't ebay, but it's still a platform for selling items.
