It should also be listed as the rarer.. "acid etched" issue for that 'date ..above date' coin. When coin collecting/browsing on ebay....You have to keep your sense of humor..

Here's a listing "Canadian 1920 TO 2012 Penny Lot - 81 Great Small Cents" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canadian-19...231067827254Hey, wait... 2012 - 1920 = 92!! So, it's not exactly misleading, but... it's missing at least 10 dates, and the description is essentially made up. Want some KGV pennies? Quote: 1936 - ULTRA Low Mintage 1932 1929 1920 - Transition Coin - Key Date Key date... mintage, 15,483,923. I'm richer than I thought! And let's not forget that ULTRA low mintage 1936 cent, of which there are only HALF as many when compared to the key date. Quote: 1952 1951 1950 1949 - ULTRA Low Mintage 1948 - ULTRA Low Mintage 1947 ML - Key Date 1947 - Key Date 1946 1945 1944 1943 1942 - Key Date 1941 - Key Date 1940 Hey, wait, I'm pretty sure they're just making this all up. Quote: 1981 - Key Date 1980 - Key Date 1979 - Key Date 1978 - Key Date 1977 - Low Mintage - Key Date 1976 1975 1974 1973 - Low Mintage 1972 - Low Mintage 1971 - ULTRA Low Mintage 1970 - Low Mintage 1969 1968 1867-1967 Commemorative 'Dove' - Key Date I'm rich! Rich, I tell you!

And he calls this mint state? Well $149.99 might be a little high saying I can by one in better condition for around $1.50 and my local coin store.

OK so today I bought a 1838 Cdn Victoria large cent. Altered 1888 date. Spent $10 on it but I like it as an oddity.

Same seller that sold me a set of nickels that was supposed to include a 1926 far 6. By far the rudest person that I have ever dealt with........and I have dealt with some real winners https://goccf.com/t/155481

Wait! It gets better!! www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Canadi.../231070334999 This 2011 penny with some instant coffee grounds spilled onto it is... a BIN $300 error coin!! Quote: Highly Collectible and Rare A perfect gift for the unidentified brown stain lover in your life. But wait, how do we KNOW it's an error? Enlighten us! Quote: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUSPECT ANY CHEMICAL TREATMENTS WERE DONE TO THIS COIN AS THERE IS NO DISCOLORATION OF THE METALS - ACID FOR EXAMPLE WOULD CHANGE THE COLOR TO A BLUE OR PINK I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a DOPE...

That 2011 is aggressively overpriced by 299.98... that is typical corrosion of the copper plating.

I really hope some one new to collecting doesn't get taken by this seller! Really, what is he thinking?

Then there are the 1920-2012 1c and 1922-2012 5c offerings with no key dates.
A dryer/acid 5c.
A 1955 SF "error" for $149
A little snake oil with every win!
