At times We all come across ridiculous online coin listings that make us scratch our heads and say are you kidding me?
I thought it might be a fun thread, just post the title and the item number and a pic if you wish.

I'll start with an EXTREMELY RARE 19? 10cent ERROR COIN
(seller's first post, buy it now $75.00)

A $900 1982 Lincoln Cent -- "The back side has no sitting Lincoln in the front of the building."

Who boy is this thread going to fill up fast.

Great idea cause there's a miilion of 'em but does this add to a seller's online rating with increased traffic flow?

I don't think so, ratings are based on feedbacks left for the sellers after sales have been finalized and then feedback are left by the buyers.

Here's the Etsy seller's rationale behind the $30K 1965 quarter:

"Quarters coin 1965 rare error antique coin . They don't make them any more. It was an error they make them with the eagle in the back of the coin!! That's what make it unique and rare."

Quite a few like this, but this has to be one of the silliest:

ebay charge 50p to set a 'Buy It Now' price, so this guy has already paid them 46p more than the coins are worth!
