jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 08:31 am Check this joker out. Description says it all... http://www.ebay.com/itm/200824005741 Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 09:12 am It may be obvious to you, but not to me. Would you like to share the joke, please ? Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 09:35 am Is it just me or is the "8" winking? Pertinax, it is indeed not obvious at first. As one takes a closer look these two "coins" are surprisingly identical. A genuine 1877 cent in MS-60 goes for more than $3000 each. No returns, very poor spelling and grammar. "Too good to be true" = BAD! Report this Post to the Staff

jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 10:08 am I was gonna say, aren't these coasters? Report this Post to the Staff
jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 10:19 am Yeah, he already tried to sell some of these very rare coins. But hey, his day used to work at the mint so that's good enough for me! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1916-libert...047675.l2557 Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 10:40 am Here is an honest ebay seller - same item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-3-Met...em2c6826bf00 And a genuine, proof example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1877-1c-PCG...orceRpt=true Now compare the close ups: The dates have very different styles. Also, on the paperweight the designer's initial "L" is missing. James B. Longacre. L missing: L present The "L" is on its side, so it is hard to notice. To jokingjoker: Did I present a good explanation? To Pertinax, I hope that this helps you. Edited by matthewvincent 09/24/2012 10:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 12:12 pm Yes, the item has been removed. When I saw them on wbay, there was lots of verdigris and they lookeed less than VF to me so the relevance of MS-60 escapes me. What are 'coasters' in this context, please ? It's not in the glossary. To me, they're either small mats on which to rest your glass or ships that go up and down the coast. Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 1:15 pm Pertinax Coasters are those round discs on which you place a glass so that your wife doesn't get angry about leaving rings on the table. I'm sure you guys across the pond have a different name for them like car trunks and hoods, apartments, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
