Almost looks fake to me. The coloring looks funny.

This appears to be the rare "Crinkled Die" Variety. Almost GEM MS too. Also an excellent door stopper.

I agree with Yoshi, something seems off about it to me.
Only logical thing to me is he meant to ask for $5.00 and forget to put in the decimal point

It's probably real, (cleaned copper tends to take on this tint of color) but I do like the description of "Crinkled Die" variety that zxcccxz came up with! Quote:

The RPD or old so-called 1869/8 variety in Late Die State with the die crack through the date, would bring this much in low end mint state condition. I passed on a MS63BN RPD EDS late last year, I am only really interested in them with the die crack. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

May as well put it on a train track and let a train run over it.

I should have used an emoticon, because I was being sarcsatic. I have no doubt he is hoping for $500 as I also saw he had received an offer. I really want to know what the offer was for, because if it was anything over $1 he should have taken it!  |

Gotta love the description: "1869 Two Cent Piece collectors item" Collectors item? In what universe? |

I would hope that two offers were for $0.01 and $0.02, respectively.

2 declined offers and one expired.
Hopefully for face value -- including postage
