It's sad that there are many people who think their Presidential dollar was minted in the 18th or 19th century. I see questions about this pop up on Y!A every now and then back when I was on there. |

 Every single time someone says that I want to slap them and show them a real 18th/19th century dollar coin  |

My friend told me they had a bunch of dollar coins from the 1800's and told me I could have one. When I got to their house I discovered they were all new gold dollars  |

The sad thing is that there is some idiot out there that might actually buy it...

Some people just don't think. At my old job there was a slightly ditzy cashier... she found a heavily greased 1995 quarter with the first two digits missing from the date. She sincerely, honestly believed that she had found a 1,913 year old coin!

I messaged the seller to inform them about it and they got pretty nasty actually...Safe to say I made my point and the listing is no longer up.

I just informed them that those were modern Presidential dollars and are not worth more then face ..I got a nasty reply back saying ,I should mind my own business and if I didn't have anything nice to say,too not say it. I kindly replied that I was just trying help a fellow ebayer out but if you want to get nasty then we don't need uninformed sellers selling coins on ebay. Then the listing was pulled. |

I like how my friends think that Statehood Quarters were minted in the states they portray. For example, they would think that a California quarter was minted in California. |

A large amount of people that walk into my LCS bring Statehood Quarters in and think they are worth $1,000+ dollars because it says 1787 on the top of the reverse. Little do they know to look at the bottom, when it says 1999. |

I messaged him as well but he didn't reply to me. I wonder how many other people pointed out his error to him. Enough and it might help explain why he was testy. Especially if some of them didn't do so politely or ridiculed him.
