Maybe they are members here or someone has emailed them,in any case it's good it is no longer going to hurt the seller or any potential buyer.

How they can even hint at that that coin is error filled has me amazed. It is clear it has had a very hard life.

I can only hope that it's been released back into the wild or better still, consigned to the tip.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Going to play the Devil's Advocate.
Have you ever gotten a coin term mixed up with another - especially when you were first starting to learn them?
If this seller had no experience with coins, then the label 'error' may mean to the seller: 'piece of crap', the term 'error' only has a meaning to coin collectors because it has become part of our vocabulary.
I'd say give this seller a break.

Sorry CoinManTim, but you left yourself wide open; Maybe we should give this seller a BROKEN coin.  Sorry had to say it. (then again that seller's already got one)  |

I should share with this forum that my user name "Broken-Coin" was what my granddaughter tells me when I let her hold some really nice error coins...
When she was about four years old and held some multi-struck coins, her reply was, "Look Grandpa, The Coins Are Broken"...
From then on she will ask, "grandpa, can I look at the broken coins?"
