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.

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.

Wow. The only error was annoying poor defenseless electrons to take a picture of it.

I know this isn't ebay, but it's still a platform for selling items.    These last two posts were uploaded by the same user, oddly enough.
