I guess they're asking such a high price because it was minted in Lake Charles, LA but the usual LC mint mark was accidently replaced with a D.

Step right up... You can have this Susan B Anthony dollar for the low, low price of 500,000 dollars, which is more than my house cost.

................so, Humanist1287. I have this same coin available... would you consider an even trade for your house?.....

...take a look at this seller's other offerings ... good grief !...

I got so hilariously smoked on ebay today, I can't even be mad about losing seven bucks. I should've just looked at the guy's negative feedback first. The advertised coin was a glowing 1935-S Buffalo nickel. What I got was a harshly used 1935 Philly with gunk or paint covering the buffalo. I'm thinking gunk because there appear to be hairs stuck in it. I will post images later.

It's my own dumb fault. Given the seller's taunting responses to negative feedback, I think he deliberately lifted the image of a 1935-S DDR from a credible site just to suck in cherrypickers.

I thought that you couldn't list uncertified coins for more than $2000.

On a hunch, I decided to check PCGS. Sure enough, this very coin is listed as an MS62 1935-S nickel DDR FS-801. You can see the spot behind the head and the reverse rim ding above the second S of States. PCGS Cert #42532264.
