The 3 cent piece is still priced at double the Red Book value for a problem-free AU coin.

The 1859 is not exactly the most beautiful of coins either, to say the least.

Wow, that thing is only 13 years old? I guess it's had a rough life!

That's sure an interesting 'heavy clipped planchet error'.

Note that it was not struck under queen Elizabeth II as normal 2002 issues were, but under the Caribou Queen.

While that's been around the block since whenever it was minted. It's at $0.01 Canadian plus shipping and handling with about 3 hours to go...

Here's an interesting one, a 'planchet scratch stamp error.' $120 OBO.

EDIT: I feel like I've seen this coin on CCF before. Does it look familiar to anyone else?

It's not ebay, but I just have to share this one.
Dude is selling 641 (or so he says) Italian 2 cent coins for 551€.

Really harsh cleaning or is the coin in a badly scratched case?

Thanks NumisRob! I think I finally understand what a whizzed coin looks like!

Did you check out the seller's disclaimer?

It's most certainly not in a case at all, as evidenced by the shadow around WNW.

It's not cleaned, but badly abused with a metal bruch for no reason whatsoever.
