Vise Job, not an error coin, just damage.

Just a glue residue stain, not an error coin either.

Now, now. It erroneously fell in between a couple other coins that erroneously fell into a vise that erroneously closed. And then some glue erroneously fell on it. That's four amazing errors! What a deal!

Here's another spectacular collector coin from ebay: 1896 Canada Cent High Grade But Has Some Light Damage

Fun-Thread---Worst-Coins-On-Ebay,-Etsy,-Craigslist,-And-Other-Buying-Sites!

Yep, "high grade" - other than being whizzed, having taken a whale of a hit from something, and having rim and edge damage.

By that reasoning, this was a "high grade" voyage . . . with some light damage en route.

Absolutely correct


Godzilla borrowed it to use as a toothpick, and the old blind guy uses to make coins anyway

For a low, low half million dollars, you can have the 1958 D SAN FRANCISCO WHEAT EAR Lincoln Cent WEAKSTRIKE "S" MINTMARK VARIETY

At least there's the free shipping and the claim that the sale benefits charity. Don't forget to check out the seller's other equally spectacular listings.

The seller can't resist shouting the spectacular merits of this generic lightly circulated 1958-D cent:

GREETINGS AGAIN FROM "CHAMPAGNE MINT ERROR COIN". MY MESSAGE IS SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT. I STRIVE TO PUT FORTH ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT RARITY THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY "CHAMPAGNE MINT ERROR COIN" PRIOR TO THE (2) LAST LISTINGS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE MONTHS OF APRIL AND MAY 2018. IT IS WITH THIS MESSAGE TO ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS WITHIN THIS AUCTION THAT I AM HONEST ENOUGH TO RELAY MY PRIOR CONVERSATION WITH ("PCGS") DURING THE PHONE CONFERENCE IN 2010-2011 THAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY ("PCGS") THAT THEIR "WORLD CLASS PCGS GRADER NO. 1" INDICATED THAT THE WEAK-STRIKE "S" MINT-MARK LOCATED NEXT TO THE RIGHT OF "1958" IS GENUINE BUT THE OTHER 2 GRADERS DID NOT HAVE THE SAME OPINION. IF AT LEAST 1 PCGS WORLD CLASS GRADER CAN SAY THAT THIS "SPECIMEN" IS GENUINE IT IS WELL WITHIN MY MEANS AND JUDGMENT TO LIST THIS "SPECIMEN" ON ebay. PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE A VERY INFORMED DECISION TO PURCHASE AND MAKE THIS "SPECIMEN" A PART OF YOUR PORTFOLIO. PLEASE REVIEW THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE DECIDED IN THE BEST INTEREST AS TO LOWER THE PRICE ON THE COMMODITY AS TO HAVE THE LEVELING FIELD TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THIS "SPECIMEN" BUT AS SUCH I WILL NOT ACCEPT OFFERS UNDER $100,000.00 U.S. DOLLARS (NO EXCEPTIONS). THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND INPUTS AS TO THE ("AUCTION") AND CHAMPAGNE MINT ERROR COIN WISHES YOU GOOD LUCK -AND- HAPPY BIDDING. WITH REGARDS, THE OWNER OF CHAMPAGNE MINT ERROR COIN.

I once saw one listed as Roadkill. It looked like an honest listing but 10 bucks was a bit much for a mangled penny.

Ha! He might have a future as a coin chef. It looks like he's trying to cook "rare pennies" into "well done thousands."
