Not the worst coin on ebay, but maybe the worst price for a legitimate coin. Listing is for a 1959 MS66 FS Jefferson. 293539481295It's not a "Top Pop" as the seller states in the listing and seems to be a little overpriced at $8500. That seems to be about 25-30 times the realized value on the last few auctions. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Now that image is strange. Chopping bullets in half and passing them as quarters.

I thought the same thing when I first looked, but it's 4 real quarters (two on each end) and 2 cheap sockets from a metric tool set wrapped between. I've seen sockets like this for sale at flea markets for as little as 10¢ each.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

Here's a page from Amazon. It's a Chinese company that produces copies but doesn't mark them as such. How many people out there are buying these from dishonest sellers that offer them as authentic after paying $4 on Amazon? I've magnified the description because it's just too funny! Enjoy!

Here's a normal circulated quarter. They'll sell it you me for $19, but it'll be worth more if I can to find an error! How can I lose!!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Here's a Large Cent I found for sale on a Coin/Metal website. The condition is so bad that I actually closed my eyes for a second. I wonder how many unknowing collectors have bought these over the years. I mean it IS an almost full LIBERTY and the date is complete. Maybe I can fill in those holes! I do like the note that the coin is 'Worse than Cull.'  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

 Yokozuna, I would have been tempted to buy it just for the shock value! That suggests a new topic: Ugliest Coin You Have. Not seen, but actually in your possession. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

There actually used to be a thread just like that, but it got locked.  |

While it's possible that you could get that exact coin, I don't think you would get the one pictured. As they put it, 'Your purchase will match the quality of the product shown."

Here's a link to that locked topic for "Post The Most Worn Coin You Have!" http://goccf.com/t/92622 I posted my 1887-S Seated Liberty dime there. If you want look at some really poor-quality coins, take a look. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
