Yikes. I'd better go get my eyes checked. That shiny blurry circular object almost started looking like a coin when I stared at it for a while.

It's Etsy this time and not ebay, but this seller caught my eye. I think he's charging by the Arrow count used in his coin sales. He has 4 pages of items for sale. My favorites are the "1771-1976 no mint mark Bicentennial Quarter" for $500, the $8,450 common glass marbles and the "Jake the mallard duck Ty Beanie Baby - Original- Rare - Authentic" with "Errors" for only $15,450. It has the original $6.99 store price tag still attached. I have so many questions for him.

A 1938 German silver 5 marks. It looks like poor President von Hindenburg was the victim of an assassination attempt. The seller's address is in the U.S. and it's a local pick up only but the first time the listing was up the description was in Russian. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1239669955...123966995534

A Gem Red BU 1915 Lincoln. Looks 100% original to me. Nice obverse surfaces.

I've seen dozens of circulated 1971 UK one penny coins (Britain's commonest coin, with a mintage of 1,521,666,250) for sale at inflated prices, but this has to be the ugliest! I reckon the seller picked it up off a road... and the only 'error' I can see was made by the seller in putting it on ebay in the first place! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremel...AOSwzL9dxb6d

This seller claims to have the most overpriced Chuck E Cheese amusement token - and I do believe he's right! Just remember, "most expensive" does not mean "most valuable," since this token is really worth a buck or less. 392527888941Auction Title: Quote: The Most Overpriced 2010 Chuck E Cheese Gold Medallion. Everett, WA Golden Token Oh, by the way, this zero feedback seller does not accept returns, of course.
