$1 Coin Error

It is difficult to say much of anything without a weight or picture. If it weighs the same as a normal golden dollar then the most likely explanation is that you have a coin that has been plated post-mint and it would be worth face value.

OK, at first blush, I would say it's been plated, based on the glossy, non-lustrous appearance... Can you look at the edge? Does it show copper?

The problem with that is that there should be nothing silvery on a golden dollar, the outer clad layers are manganese brass(yellow) bonded to a core of pure copper.

So it's a fake, when do you plan to take down the listing on ebay?

Fake Schmake ... It isn't an ERROR either.
I'm posting this thought anyways ... I was going to stay quiet about it as I almost always do but I feel you came here to promote the Shiny Sacagawea and ignored the rules.

Well the title says
2009 Sacagawea dollar ERROR coin
Title is emphasizing ERROR when you know now it is not an error but an altered coin.
Since somebody bid already, I don't think you can change the title of this listing, but even if you could, is this still worth selling at the risk of disappointing the uneducated final bidder? I feel it is misleading.
What bothers me is that you listed it on Apr 06 09:34 and visited this forum about 5 hours ago to promote the link which was removed because you did not read the rules.
I posted a link to the rules and the specific rule that you were breaking. This was removed with the original topic post.
Unless you took a course in speed reading, and got back here within a minute or so to re-post your topic, you only reply with the comment


Following "here" was the link to the listing. You just copied and pasted most of your comment and said you guess you can't post a link.
Around here, deceiving ebay listings are frowned upon and frequently reported. Sometimes we all have a good laugh at some of the more absurd, but I did not post the welcome sign to you for good reason.

I reported the listing at 3:06 PM and put you on my blocked bidder list.Whether you take it down or not, probably won't matter soon enough.

Oh for gods sake...
I didn't post it here to "promote" the listing. I just happened upon this forum when I was trying to find out more about the thing because I realized after I put it up for sale that I might have been wrong about it. I posted it as an error coin because I thought that was what it was and I admit that I was, most likely WRONG. This forum seemed like a good place to look and thank you to all the people who have been helpful with this. I didn't read the entire "the rules" then because the one that made any difference in that situation was spelled out in the reply telling me that I wasn't supposed to post the link. I have since read them if that makes you happy. And yes, I did just copy and paste. So? I still wanted to get peoples opinions about it. Also, you blocked me on ebay? That just seems childish. I have already admitted that I was wrong and removed the listing. I will re list it when I find out enough about it and let the bidder know so they have a chance at it then.

If you posted the pix and asked what it was, that's asking for advice. Having put it up for sale and asking could be considered promoting, and that tactic is often used by spammers. Nothing will be gained by discussing semantics at this point.

CCF is a close-knit group, and ppl like TheNickelGuy make lots of contributions to keep this forum and hobby clean and enjoyable, including pointing out apparent ebay scams.

CCF has some rules designed to protect users, and sometimes I disagree with them or feel they overshoot their goals, but that's not my place to decide. Having posted on many groups, I can understand why people skip "da rulez", which are usually a waste of time reading. Even now, I occasionally get smacked by some rule out of left field.

My still stands. Hang around and contribute, and you'll be fine.
