Not a "worst", but how does this happen?
I would love to win an item with a $0.00 bid!

But I would want free shipping, too.

Marve65, ouch! I think the ebay seller used that AI to type out the description. There's also no mention of the cleaning either!

Are you sure they ain't just polishing marks from a mint worker? Maybe that die had an outrageous clash

Seller includes pictures of his scope screen to show damage in greater detail and an image of a nice one so that you'd know what this coin once looked like. I "watched" this auction and seller promptly made me an offer of 10% off. They declined my counteroffer of $2.

I've seen worse deals on ebay...

In VG this should be about $6 canadian, so in this condition it should be in the junk bin @ 15-25 cents.

So only inflated by a factor of 100 to 200.

Judging by their other auctions, it's a rare DDO + DDR.

Bernblast has some amazingly overpriced and poorly photographed UK pocket change!

Here is a very common 1978 2 pence coin worth face value!

Ironically, the scarcest and most valuable of the coins he's listed, a London/Rio Olympics Handover commemorative £2 coin (worth about £10) is actually his cheapest coin!
