Amazing, I would not have the gall to offer something like that to anyone. I guess he fancies himself a real businessman...or just some man that will give you the business...

" Please find it in your heart to give this guy a new loving home, he deserves it. "

Uh, no.
Sorry, there are SO many other Canadian coins that I would welcome into my home.
THIS is not one of them.

Hail, Canada!

Why, if you want to sell something like this, won't you bury it in soil and let it rest in peace? Why won't you, the seller, keep it if you feel so pathetique?
After all, this is a good example of POOR 0.25 graded coin. Imagine what would happen if one sent it for slabbing?

Comment est-ce qu'on peut rapporter cela avec l'histoire?

The doesn't even look like a loonie, I'd put that back in the middle of the intersection.

Sounds like people on craigslist trying to rehome a pet to a "forever home."

At least this guy's price is reasonable

Remember this other character with the $1.3 million 1977 penny.

Comment est-ce qu'on peut rapporter cela avec l'histoire?

The relationship is simply this:
"Hail Canada" for putting up with these occasional
offerings of "orphan" coins who have been through a grueling fate.

Coins are often subject to such similar nasty circumstances.
To offer them for a high cost is what is really nasty.
To say that a destroyed coin is special is, well, just so much marketing.

Think like this: If the sellers do feel pathetic, why would they take advantage of these por coins?
The sellers must feel like this:
mtMhGI2Stx8

Instead of this:
n2nG1bt7IBM

Do you agree?
