I'm tempted to list either my " Half Cent Error" or " Mercury dime Struck Through Error" and use the AI-generated description.

I don't think using that as a pocket piece would get that off.

Got to like the description on those rare roosies - "With certification being uncertified" What does that even mean? Are the people certifying recanting.

That's what the AI tool ebay is using spits out for uncertified coins.

"With certification being uncertified, this coin has a circulated status."
So all uncertified coins are now circulated?

I messaged a person whose coin description mentioned US Mint Certification. He/she is a zero feedback person with no idea what they were listing (their words) and just used the AI description.

Errers, this one is for you:
Lincoln Penny *RARE ERROR* 1 Cent - Unknown Date / Capped Die Strike
"I guess this could be a: Capped Die Strike and something else went wrong with planchet as well because it's much smaller and is clearly not even round any more."

Hondo Boguss, looks like it was sanded down and was either sand blasted or had an acid bath. Complete trash unfortunately.

...an idea: a lot of these coins are put up for auction by unknowing people, with no malice intended. With that in mind, when seeing a seller who's not scamming, but just ignorant, how about contacting (politely) & steering them to this forum ...
...I've been doing this for a month or so, as I was as ignorant (maybe more so...) as any of these otherwise honest sellers ... you may be surprised at how many are grateful for the info ... & we've gotten at least 1 new member as a result ... .
... Share the knowledge...
