"Extremely small mintage of just 1,450 single coins worldwide."

What a butt ugly piece of bullion!

And someone even decided to send this one in?!

Check out the rest of the submission. The coin after this one was a platinum hundred also colorized.

But 001 through 007 is a random collection of perfectly respectable US Gold. AU through MS65.


It's almost as if somebody sending their change jar of gold coins to be certified.

At least they're honest. Also, old large cents are cool, even beat up or corroded.
That colorized gold is an abomination though.

Here's a special one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272511905869

Notice the Accugrade label in a non sealed slab. Odds are somebody cracked it out, found it wouldn't grade at NGC/PCGS and is now trying to trade off the accurate name.

Pretty sad, that's about like trading off the Charlie Manson charm school...

I've just spotted a bad photo of a coin with a mintage of 5,300,000 that is described as 'Extremely Rare' and 'Unique':

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Benjamin-...AOSwUKxYbNHq

The only unique thing about it is the ridiculous price.

The one was so severely annealed, it turned a Buffalo nickel into a "1935-D Jefferson nickel" (per the listing title).

This one likes to lowball sellers, and cancel his auctions... so no surprise that he's listing a 1936-S quarter, but the coin in the picture is a 1937-S. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-S-Wash...252720275397
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
