I'm tempted to list either my " Half Cent Error" or " Mercury dime Struck Through Error" and use the AI-generated description.

I don't think using that as a pocket piece would get that off.

Got to like the description on those rare roosies - "With certification being uncertified" What does that even mean? Are the people certifying recanting.

"With certification being uncertified, this coin has a circulated status." So all uncertified coins are now circulated?

I messaged a person whose coin description mentioned US Mint Certification. He/she is a zero feedback person with no idea what they were listing (their words) and just used the AI description.

Errers, this one is for you: Lincoln Penny *RARE ERROR* 1 Cent - Unknown Date / Capped Die Strike"I guess this could be a: Capped Die Strike and something else went wrong with planchet as well because it's much smaller and is clearly not even round any more." https://www.ebay.com/itm/364562472646

Hondo Boguss, looks like it was sanded down and was either sand blasted or had an acid bath. Complete trash unfortunately.

...an idea: a lot of these coins are put up for auction by unknowing people, with no malice intended. With that in mind, when seeing a seller who's not scamming, but just ignorant, how about contacting (politely) & steering them to this forum ... ...I've been doing this for a month or so, as I was as ignorant (maybe more so...) as any of these otherwise honest sellers ... you may be surprised at how many are grateful for the info ... & we've gotten at least 1 new member as a result ...  . ... Share the knowledge...
