A rare 1776 coin up with an opening bid of $522 and a "Buy It Now" price of $1,000.

Here is what the seller says about it:

"Hi I have two of these coins from local trbail groups of Indians its marked oneonta ny 1776 selling because I could use the fortan to get a car I am selling on at a time both in great condition looking for cash only there the real thing had aprazed for 4500.00 ."

Here is the link. (Remember, if you see this after the auction listing ends you need to click on the "View Original Item" link.)

I would recommend the seller pays for remedial English lessons, instead of a car.

I'll bet whomever "aprazed" it is still rolling on the floor.

It's a shame he isn't using the "Make an Offer" feature. I think $5 in Monopoly Money would be about right.

"don't take any wooden nickels" was a popular phrase when I was a kid back in the late 50's, early sixties. They would give those away at fairs, parties, and other events... My guess is the one he is trying to sell is from around the bicentennial in 1976... I would like to see his appraisal of $4500... more like 45 cents would be right....

Ugh. Somebody actually bought this one: 1959 D Lincoln Penny MULE ON 1958 WHEAT COIN ERROR LOOK!!

Here's the absolutely believable description:
1959 D Lincoln Penny MULE ON A 1958 WHEAT COIN
POCKET CHANGE FIND.
PICTURES SAY IT ALL.
PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT PICTURES AND ASSES YOUR OWN RISK.
YOU CAN SEE THE REMAINS OF THE 8 NEXT TO 9.
ON THE BACK WHEAT LEAVES ARE BARELY VISIBLE BUT STILL ABLE MAKE OUT. ALSO SOME OF THE LETTERS ARE VISIBLE.
SOLD AS FOUND.
SALE IS FINAL, NO RETURN, NO EXCEPTIONS.
ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.
GOOD LUCK.


He's right on one thing. These pictures do say it all.

I think it's a double mule 1958 Wheat cent, 1959 D obverse over a 1959 D reverse Lincoln Memorial cent!

If Washington quarters are your thing, here is a remarkable "error" coin. It is listed as Washington Quarters, Us error coins

In fairness, the helpful description of this hammer-squished masterpiece admits that it is "quite unusual very thin a little oblong." Ya think?

Yep, it sure looks like every off center UNC cent in my collection.

I'm just surprised it isn't ICG certified.

Don't believe this one's been posted yet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-GRA...AMXQ~6VQ83b~

What a steal for an over 2000 year old coin in such excellent condition!
