I search eBay for (nice) coins. But when I saw this coin I felt inspired to start a new thread:    Worst Coins On eBay!  Play along and post your finds! Edited by DVCollector

So can I just post my collection here or do I have to put them on eBay first?  Just kidding but very interesting idea, just make sure the sellers don't know your posting their coins here... |

I often see some real beauts on the 'bay. Play along if you like. For my part, I won't post any coins that have numismatic value. |

My hat to the seller for his honest description of that coin.  Obverse: "Everything is wrong with this coin" Holed, chunk missing, and corrosion everywhere. Definitely in the top 10 worst coins on eBay, but at least the seller isn't hiding anything. The seller is actually trying to warn you on how bad the coin really is. |

For me, that's not more a coin.

Justin, The kindest thing for this dime is to send it to a melting pot. I may have to start 'NOT liking' Barber coins such as this one. |

You may have to change your signature to, 'I've only ever met one Barber coin I didn't like.'

Yeah--I like that description--the seller obviously doesn't want anybody to be disappointed. |

This one keeps getting relisted (at least 6 times now), thankfully nobody is bitting... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1865-TWO-CE...321287752164A ground off reverse is not an error, and at $50.00 it's outrageously priced for a PMD coin, though I've seen worse on eBay this one is right up there.
