@NumisRob, just post the ebay listing NUMBER, and the CCF board software will make the link.

Does it include the three boogers?

...I wish I'd thought to ask when I contacted the seller ... usually such items are for comparison only, & not included ... on second thought, maybe he's selling the boogers & used the coin for aspect ...

Item description from the seller
it's worth alot and if you come to west 29th street in Indianapolis we can do card or cash pickup only and you can sell it for more too

I'm fairly certain that attempting to evade ebay fees is a no-no. But I can't find the "report this item" link.

How about a 1989 British pound coin?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236088538899
Fun-Thread---Worst-Coins-On-Ebay,-Etsy,-Craigslist,-And-Other-Buying-Sites!
If anyone is tempted to make a 'best offer', note that some friendly banks in the UK will still allow customers to pay obsolete pound coins like this into their accounts and credit them with the full face value, in other words, £1 or about $1.33.

But let's enjoy the seller's AI-aided description...
This rare British coin, minted in 1989, is a great addition to any coin collection. The denomination of the coin is One Pound, and it was made in the United Kingdom. It has a great historical significance and is a wonderful piece of British heritage. The coin was made in Great Britain and is a testament to the rich numismatic history of the country.
This coin is a must-have for any coin collector, and it is available at a great price. It is a great way to add some uniqueness to your collection, and it is sure to be a conversation starter. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of British history.

I reported it, Hondo ...

...to report an item: look in the very bottom-right-hand corner of the auction screen, you'll see a question mark (?) within a white circle...left-click on this mark & you can begin the process ...

...seems as if ebay has made it more difficult to report items...probably because of the huge amount of junk & con schemes on their site ... the complaints are reviewed by A I (artificial ignorance) & a lot of justified complaints are deemed acceptable by this system ... profit-driven, no doubt ...

I reported that $40,000 auction as well.

As for that British Pound coin - 1989 is now considered OLD?

Last week there was a story in the local paper about an "elderly" crime victim - the person was 62!
