He states only 5 know to exist (actually I though ONE was found) - but picture of the 3.1 gram cent is too blurry to tell - What are the chances of being one? And while they sell for hundreds of thousands he wan'ts $900 - go figure

Man, that's very shameful and deceiving what that turkey is doing on ebay. Another reason why ebay can be a deathtrap for buying supposed "error" coins. Sellers like this one ruin the coin collecting hobby. For new coin collecters, please be very careful and cautious when buying error coins on ebay.  Errers and Varietys.

Mark, I had the same thought as well. It could be the seller's buddies bidding on it to artificially increase the bid. It's unbelievable how much fake "error" coins get listed and sold on ebay. The only thing I see positive in the listing is 10% of the money will go to charity. Errers and Varietys.

Chase, it made me more angry as well since this seller is scamming people in order to donate to charity. It's very sad. If the seller wants to donate to charity, then he should do it the right way and not resort into scamming people to donate money.
Errers and Varietys.

Although the buyer's ID is protected by ebay but you can still tell that the winner of the last auction and the highest bidder of the current auction are the same dude ! It's either a set up or the bidder is really dumb and dreaming of cashing that Zincoln in for a big buck and dropping a couple of grands on this scammer! Last auction c***e(297) $940.00 16 Feb 2018 at 10:23:18PM PST ......................................................... Today's auction:c***e(297) $900.00 20 Feb 2018 at 2:32:53PM PST c***e(297) $900.00 18 Feb 2018 at 5:42:29PM PST Edited by Chase007

If you look at his ONE feedback it was from the buyer of the coin #1. If c***e is indeed the same bidder again it is either a shill or himself on a second account. I think this is the one instance I just "may buy the SLAB and not the coin!"
