Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/27/2015 4:30 pm The price being asked for this one seems ridiculous to me. See: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-CENT-o...t_548wt_1153 The seller is threatening to put it up for sale through one of the traditional auction houses if there isn't a taker on ebay. What do you think it would realistically be bid up to in such a venue? Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 03/28/2015 10:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 10:16 am My thought also. Not a true "error" but a deliberate prank. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 03/28/2015 10:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 10:43 am It's been on and off ebay for quite a while now and I believe I've read that it is a Mint assisted error. Other wise it can't happen Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 11:41 am Those mint assisted errors are a way to line someone's pocket . They should be looked at as almost criminal. I mean literally it's not real. Report this Post to the Staff
