Sometimes I regret looking at bad coins on ebay, because ebay keeps sending me e-mails like this!  It's now priced at only £999.98 more than it's worth! I actually just sold a 1971 2p (from my pocket change) on ebay! I can't believed someone paid 2p plus 61p postage for a coin they could get in change any day!

After seeing the photo of this gorgeous 1919 Lincoln, I don't know how I can resist spending $70.00 for this beauty. 383052595600The only downside is I'll have to take two weeks off of work and drive from L.A. to Georgia because he only offers free local pick up.

Paul Bulgerin, it's obvious that this seller is trying to scam people.

Another of my own sales! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153570199487As you will gather from the description, I don't especially want to sell it, and I'm not accepting returns on it: I don't want the hassle if anyone actually does buy it! Interestingly, even before posting it in this thread, it's had an unusually large number of views! I hope that one of them was from a reporter on a particular UK tabloid newspaper that once ran the headline "Prince Charles to marry Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg - and that's official!"

Here's a real beauty and a steal at that; another coin offered by a seller with zero feedback. It's a 1974 Lincoln in a PCGS slab graded "Damage - UNC Detail" with a counter stamp of the map of Missouri on the obverse. It could be yours for only $11,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-1C-PC...AOSwT9lcx5ah

 You're right that is a steal. Maybe I can use some of the money that I'm getting from this Nigerian General .... oh wait, I'm not supposed to tell anyone about that. It is super hush-hush.

I had to consult Rosetta Stone for ebay to translate this one. It is listed as 1897 BU GEM Morgan silver dollar COIN #6318 FREE SHIPPING UNC MS+++ Evidently in eBay-speak, "BU GEM UNC MS+++" means "scoured repeatedly with a Dremel, wire brush, and Brillo Pad until the barely recognizable surface looks like a garage sale sauce pan." Here is the wonder coin in all of its glory:

Paul, that poor 1974 cent with a tattoo of Missouri must have done something really awful to be jailed in plastic for life. Seriously, $11,000 bail suggests that poor coin committed a serious felony. Dunno, it looks like a pretty decent fellow. The bail should be reduced to one cent and that poor guy should be sprung free to hang out with other cents in circulation.

Fortcollins, ouch! Now it's pretty much almost worthless now, because of the cleaning!
