It's also ebay with no risk to the buyer. People take a shot it's fake or whatever and they get their money back every time
Rest in Peace

Percentage of returns on "mail order" purchases is dependent on the percentage of the buyers monthly income.

That's why $20 junk is rarely returned. Only 17% of low value garbage is returned for refund.

The scammers creed. Sell junk, make lots.

He says it's non-magnetic. What's up with that?

Also, he calls it a fantasy coin, indicating that he knows that it's not real. What's also up with that?

"Non-magnetic" is included to indicate it is not simply a copper-plated normal steel cent. "Fantasy" is included to try and cover their butt against a return because it's fake (and they know it).

So, in other words, it's a genuine fake? Someone actually manufactured a 1943 die, poured some copper into it and baked it?

If it's a genuine fake, doesn't that make it a real fake or is it just a sort of fake?
