I can think of lots of sayings that apply here. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.", Caveat Emptor. "There's a sucker born every minute." Etc. Etc. Etc.
Remember Mr. T. ? "I pity the fool." (Probably talking about a buyer.)
Rest in Peace

If he's trained to take out the trash, do windows, rake leaves, mow the lawn, pick up his room ... might be worth the price of the whole deal!

i have a coin with a similar value. I posted it as a "sad" wheat find in a bank roll. it is actually a 1949, which can only be verified with some magnification worth precisely $.01, as long as someone will accept it a change for payment.

I regret joining the party so late!
I cannot think of a more fitting "poster child" for post-mint damage:

Someone beat me to it..

Question: Do you realize that most of your coins are nothing but post mint damage. This coin: 2000 D Lincoln Cent Error Cud Spearing Date IS NOT A Cud.. Cuds are formed on the rim, you have a die gouge. They are common coins, they are worth a penny. 1992D Lincoln Cent Close AM Reverse Triple Struck Error.. This is not a Close AM.. it is Machine Doubling. You really need to spend more time learning about errors and less time trying to rip people off. 1989 D Lincoln Cent RPM Error Strong.. Really you must be joking.. The copper peeled back from the zinc. From 89 on the Mint Marks are part of the Die, there is no chance that this is an RPM. I will be sending an email to ebay. I am going to let them know that you are trying to make a profit on nothing but garbage.

Answer:

Sir, Thank you for you professional input on this coin and others I have listed here on ebay. I will post your concern on this ad along with this response. I do appreciate any and all input from veteran ebay members, positive and negative. It helps to keep this site safe.

You certainly are free to email ebay regarding my coins I am listing and you are welcome to. Some of the coins I have listed I have been mistaken on and immediately refunded all costs to the winner. I do offer a money back if not satisfied guarantee so an intelligent individual should feel safe and the threat of a winner getting ripped off is really academic, wouldn't you think?

I am sure you must have written the person selling the grilled cheese sandwich for over thirty thousand dollars that it was only worth three dollars. Or the two teenage girls selling the corn cereal chip that is was worth less than one cent. Even though you are probably not an expert on cheese sandwiches or breakfast cereal. I can tell that you are savvy enough individual to know the difference. You are a blessing to this site. Thank you!

As I said above you are free to tell ebay about my coins. And I am free to have my gypsy cousin put a hex on you so you must stop at every red traffic light possible the next time you go for a drive. I'm not going to do that so don't think about me when you have to stop at the next red light.

Anyway good luck to you and may you be successful in everything you do.

Cheers, Petruchio

It's too bad the Mint has to remove each coin from the dies with a cold chisel.

So that explains why I hit all the reds--how do I break this hex on me?

Let me translate this:
Thank you Sir. I am a crook and a fraud, I know what I am, and there is nothing ebay will do about it, and nothing you can do about it. I will continue to sell to ignorant buyers. These are my customers, the uninformed public. Thanks again and good luck in everything you do. Cheers.

And he sounded so calm and professional about it until the very end.

A "200 D" error may not be worth much, but how about all of those S's?


Also, I sure hope, truly hope, that no one buys that dime for $5,000.

Petruchio...isn't he a Disney character? Oh wait, that's Pinnochio.
Maybe I am thinking of a character from "Romeo and Juliet"?

Whichever...the guy's still a crook in my book.
