Just found this listing on E-Bay and to be frank it made me mad, the seller is claiming it's an error coin. I've come across fakes before never this badly done. What some people will do to make and error but a drill?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-CANADA...em5b0bbfd301 |

"I have been informed that this dent is a drill bite, not an error."
Well, at least if you read the description...

See nothing wrong with the listing as is.
clear images, clear description.
IF these pictures were there before he made changes, and suggested it is a error, still ok as everyone in their right mind just needs to have one look at the pictures.
And if someone is dumb enough to bid, well there is no price for stupidity.
I bet nobody would even blink an eye if that listing was a CENTSLES or ASYN listing.

Seller is in Canada... don't understand why the listing isn't pulled and he goes to Timmie's for a coffee! Would be real interesting if someone actually placed a bid!! |

I sent her a message through ebay this morning telling her it was not an error but done with a drill bit. Edited by rottnrog

Glad the listing was changed and the error was removed and the seller mentions it's a drill that made the mark.

JR from CCN Errorman describes this coin as the Center Raised Alignment Punching of an over used obv. die?
