Gambling on there being multiple "small date,high 7"? It does say it's returnable if you're not satisfied.

There is a well-known and valuable Doubled Die for this coin (WWDO-001). Buyer here looking for a score?
Can't think of any other reason.

It is also possible that it was a nuclear snipe* gone bad.

* nuclear snipe - when two bidders each put in a ridiculously high bid trying to snipe an auction

squared!

Those rolls are searched and put together. Advertising is everything. They look cool, but are losers.

Very possible, I never thought of that. Will have to watch my own sniping, and keep that in mind.

edit: looks like i***$ had his bid in 10 min early. a***n's snipe posted with 1 second left.

Scroll all the way down sellers listing. they are nothing but CWR with tape on the end of rolls. the buyer would have to be totally clueless on original bu rolls.
Or the nuclear snipe theory .
