Seller thinks the "S" mint mark written on the 2x2 is a "5."  I also like how he strategically places his thumb over the original price of the coin.  But, who knows, maybe it's actually a 1969-S double die....  https://www.ebay.com/itm/405435210529 |

You would think ebay would be better at filtering out junk like this by this time. |

Oops, I keep forgetting that ebay has no incentive to filter out junk. Sorry, everyone. |

Been a mess from day one, truth told. An international license to steal for anyone with a scamming instinct, which is a whole lot of people.

I've used those but electric sanders are much easier on this old body.
