I really don't think the guy had thought this one through... The fact of the matter is this particular error coin is a failed, " get rich quick scheme." with that being said, he made his bed now he will have to sleep in it.

He's offering FREE shipping now. I guess that will definitely get someone's attention.

"this item is auctioned as raw" I bet you 500$ if someone bought this it would come in a plastic ziplock bag, for any penny worth more than 200$ is usually slabbed by a TPG haha, this guy is a fool

He must be reading the thread.

@seller: We'll be watching to see that the price doesn't go up to $1,350,038. Consider yourself warned. :)

Well, look on the bright side, at least he now acknowledges that it is a double struck, flip-over strike coin (what we told him it was since 2010). Clearly this guy is a genius, because he has derived the mathematics of how the coin was struck?


Quote:
The extra Number 7 for a total of 3 7's and a double strike on the reverse and the mathematical perfection of the flipover strike...


Yet, his facts are wrong, so I am suspect of his math!! He claims the RCM Winnipeg plant was opened in 1971, so I guess we should notify the RCM to fix that oversight on their webpage, clearly they are wrong and this guy is right (as always)....

"One of the most Spectacular & Impossible error coin ever Minted! " Cabra "

and Also one of the most controversial coin which has had both scientific and logical criticism , meaning that Relevant facts are said not to have been definitely established as true, or the likelihood that they are true , has not been established. The presentation of facts has been biased , important and relevant facts of the total factual context has been ignored for example This coin has been publicised in the Canadian coin newspaper, only that the topic was about a controversy about the pricing of the coin instead of facts pertaining to the actual details about the actual facts itself and relevance to this mint error prospects all together but that would be due to the poor quality pictures(see below) that I had at the time."


Huh?

Simple:

this Coin has been presented and represented as a factual relevant engineering Feat whose propriety or impropriety is yet to be determined as factual and Uncontestable in the judgement od history of Numismatics, in this and all forum therefore eliminating any trace of doubt as to what it Means and the importance of the finding.

Clearer now?

I think this seller should make a short video explaining how unique this coin is and post it on youtube for all of us to enjoy ☺

Given this seller's past attitude on coin forums, I would think Joe Pesci would be a better person to narrate!!

That should have added $250K to the price. The guy is slipping.

Wow that really is the most complex error coin I have ever seen. It's so complex it has had five different names associated with it! (Cabra, Cheyenne, Enigma, Pennache, The Lucky 7 Leaf Hair Penny)
