How about a 1960 Canada One Cent in "Good condition, with some wear."

It's only $0.99 US plus $3.50 US shipping. What a bargain!

This one isn't fun at all. I find it really disturbing, and it's from a longtime dealer.

HUGE LOT OF FAKE SILVER! BAG OF TREASURE! BARS, ROUNDS, & COINS!

It has over 30 bids.

Yes, it is honestly described. NO, this stuff doesn't need to be sold. It needs to be destroyed so we don't see it over and over.

JMHO.

So he just admitted he's selling counterfiet items and that's OK with ebay?

That's my take on it, too.

I wish he would pull the listing and donate the items to the ANA for educational purposes during the Summer Seminars.

Yeah, ya know - cause some shyster will buy all this and start selling it like on Craig's list or other shady selling sites as the real deal!

I sent the link over to the counterfeit forum - see if they'll get it gone

The listing got removed. Hopefully, we won't see it again, but it could get relisted.

Seller's description:
"circulated & deplorable - the coin has seen some rough times but is still surviving but there is a black sludge on it and lots of dents. Probably asphalt or road tar from being drove over on the road making a "road-kill" coin."

DBM, that's literally what you call a "road-kill" coin. I don't think anybody on ebay would buy that. Silly seller!

I'd snag a 1954 NSF in that condition, in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, this poor dead critter's only a once-chromed-steel 1954 SF, worth only 3.85 cents US.

I absolutely can't believe why the heck someone would waste so much time and money getting this heavily damaged 1909 S VDB Lincoln Wheat cent graded! Yuck!

That seller had the same coin up for sale in June for the same price and it looks like nobody bit. I think I'll put it on my watch list just for fun and see if anyone actually buys it.

DeputyMax, that will be fun to watch. It has been relisted again, because it didn't sell.
