Man, LOL, this seller is not so smart. 250,000 dollars shipping and he said for the condition of the item "Preserved Well as possible". 
I DO NOT believe this seller's story at all and you can tell it's a setup for an ebay scam. I hope no one gets suckered by this guy. Acid dipped coin is all I see! Here's the seller's description about this supposed "Experimental Coin" Sorry, but I don't believe him.
