I can remember this coming out with another coin (penny) in a black and clear wrapper


Coming out of what, or where?

You are supposed to think Cheerios box, but I'm voting for illicit drug trip.

Mark, this is what the seller is trying to trick people into thinking:

It's all a lie, of course. The seller didn't get this coin from a Cheerios box.

I see, but like you said - that is not a Cheerios Sacagawea dollar

Words fail.

Here is an incredible "1969-S 1C RD Lincoln Cent" on ebay.

The seller notes are spectacular:
"This is a graded, double die, 1969 S penny. It is rare and worth $5000, so this is a deal! I'm only selling it because I need to finance a venture. Obverse- It has a light rim on the right, and a double rim on the left. It has a double date and double 'S' mint mark in clear definition. A slight doubling of Lincoln- good doubling at his nose, and light to extreme word doubling throughout. Reverse- has some doubling of the letters in E Pluribus Unum, and the initials on the memorial are virtually non-existent, otherwise the centering and rim look good. This coin has been authenticated. What you are seeing in the picture, is what you are getting. These are actual pictures of the coin. This cent has a scratch, and what the grader called a corrosion mark, but you do not lose clarity, as you can see right through it- but you can see the spot. You can see it in the pics."


The seller adds the following "product details" for the buyer:
The 1969-S Lincoln Cent is considered one of the more common dates from the Lincoln Cent series, especially since it is a modern issued coin. However, in MS66 condition it is underestimated as it is very difficult to find, even though easily available, it is not abundant as other dates in the series. In MS67 condition it is very scarce with less than two dozen known and none being known in higher condition.


So what is this $3,060 beauty?

Found this one. It looks like a Mercury dime mated with a Capped Bust Half Eagle and this was its lovely offspring. Maybe some hot lips thrown in there too.

Yikes. Why is she wearing a Burmese Python wrapped around her head? Isn't that dangerous?

Haha! This seller is out of their mind! I can't believe that he/she completely wasted their own money getting it graded! It's not even close to the real deal at all. That seller is not the brightest I guess.

The most unusual Kennedy half dollar I've ever seen. How about this seven hundred dollar beauty?

If you look at the sellers other items for sale, they're all empty beer cans. Maybe that explains it.

That's funny! It's actually a Franklin half dollar. Not even close to a Kennedy half dollar. Also, he wants a ridiculous and a very unrealistic price for it. That seller is not too smart.

I also saw his other items. They're all empty beer cans!
