I bet it's a Chinese fake deliberately destroyed. Quote:
I can believe it. I am one of them. For those who cannot afford a decent example of this iconic coin, the wrecked version may be the best we can get. Absolutely, it will get a lot of bids and likely go for much more than it's worth because of that. |

I suspect a deliberately damaged fake as well.

Could be a fake. Also, it is being sold by a seller with only a few ratings.

I wouldn't want that even if real.  |

If that is a deliberately damaged fake those who are dishonest in general will try absolutely anything to make a buck. Like SD2017 said, most people's only chance to own an example of this iconic error. If I may be so bold, people suck.
Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

If you look around, you can find any keydate coin, in any condition for less then $10.....only it will take a month to get here from China!
This is most likely a flipper.

Auction has been removed. It doesn't exist anymore.
Errers and Varietys.

I missed viewing the auction as Bobby had it appropriately removed. Difficult for me to understand why anyone would desire to purchase a fake Chinese counterfeit of any coin. I do understand BigSilver concern about the cost of this coin .... but purchasing a deliberate fake to 'satisfy' that need is confusing indeed.  Here is my example: 1955 Lincoln Cent - DDO PCGS AU55 Find one of these just like this - not a Chinese fake. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Well, some people genuinely purchase these to fill a hole in their book for a coin they can never afford, but legally those coins need to also have "copy" incused into the coin.
As stated, more often than not, these are used for nefarious purposes.
