Wal-mart has been allowing third party sellers on their website for years. You could see pretty much anything.

I thought this was going to be another *Coin Star* find. With the Partner or Third Party sales as Bobby pointed out, I'm not surprised by anything I see on the Walmart web site.

 It reminds me of back in the day, when quite a few department stores had coin stores or coin departments. It's good marketing. Having a retail giant doing numismatic marketing could help raise interest in the hobby. I see only positives here. |

Yeah, I thought this was gonna be about a coinstar find or something and was all ready to get jealous. That does seem like a uniquely bad marketplace for high dollar coins.

I thought you had found a 1793 cent at the Walmart store! But....it is not to be.... Well, it just showed how things have changed but remains the same in the some ways. I remember from my childhood days—the department store named Gimbel's used to have a coin and stamp department! I often went there just to browse. I learnt a lot about the prices at Gimbels versus coin shop. I think I still have coins from there as it comes in overpriced coin set. This was in early 1980s, just a few years away before Gimbels went bankrupt or was sold off. I am not sure about other department stores? But....Amazon and Walmart does not have sense to monitor whether the coins are genuine or not and check on the prices to make sure they are reasonable. I will not entertain buying coins from there! Anyway, thank you for bringing some memories from my childhood! Edited by Carrigna

Knowing Wally World, both the slab and "coin" came off a cargo freighter from China.

Oh, so you didn't get this 1793 in your change at Walmart?  I could see the cashier giving you one because it looked like a quarter.  Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |

If I ever found a genuine 1793 cent on the floor at Walmart, following my scream, you'd hear: "Clean-up on aisle #3!" |
