On top of the price tag, you have to pay the shipping! If I'm paying that much the least you could do is ship it to me for free!

Etsy keeps nagging me to be an affiliate for them. They want to pay me to send clicks to their coin listings. I keep telling them no and why.

I have heard that Etsy prices are a way to launder money.
The same could be said of any online marketplace.

Careful we came to close to you getting that wish back in the 60's when legislation was proposed to make it illegal to sell any coin for more than it's face value.

Part of me wants to laugh when I see stuff like this...the other part of me just rolls my eyes and wonders what this world's coming to.

Within a few extra clicks, I found this one also on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/109266...ated-1&frs=1
"ZOMG IT HAS NO MINTMARK IT MUST BE AN ERROR!"

And here's another 1944 cent from the same seller as the other link I posted:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/110659...ated-2&frs=1

Do people actually think people are going to fork over thousands of dollars for these, or what?

I would love to ask sellers like this two questions:

1) What sort of person is going to spend a large sum of money on a coin?

2) What sort of person is most likely to know the true value of a coin?

That's just another day on Etsy haha.

Coins are so overpriced it's an actual joke.

On the plus side, does it make the folks on The Coin Vault seem fair and reasonable, by comparison?
