"RARE 1944 Wheat penny Error S and D Mint Mark "L" in Liberty Rim Error Cent Coin"

The only 'error' about this British 1977 2p coin is the selling price!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316091014688

Note to anyone not familiar with British 2p coins: an extremely rare mule exists of a 1983 2p (which should have 'TWO PENCE' on the reverse) with the 1971-81 reverse reading 'NEW PENCE'. All 2p coins issued between 1971 and 1981 have 'NEW PENCE' and apart from the proof-only coins of 1972-4, are worth face value in circulated condition. Unfortunately some people seem to think that any 2p coin with 'NEW PENCE' is a rare error...

There seems to be a lot of them popping up lately..

VOC Shipwreck Treasure Coin MERESTEIN | 1/2 Reales Mexico 1700-1719
ebay item number:396271769108

...Here, NGC has mis-identified the denomination of the encapsulated coin. I find 2-3 per month, by most all of the third-party grading services. They seem to know little about Spanish colonial cobs, but grade, describe, & slab them anyway ...

...this coin is I.D.'d as a 1/2 real, when, in reality it was a 1 real. The obverse shows a portion of the monarch's shield. This feature never appeared on any Spanish colonial 1/2 reals. Half-reals bore the monarch stylized monogram, not a shield.

...see pic, example of a stylized monogram

...this coin bears a partial Bourbon shield of Ferdinand V.

....I know...picky picky picky...
