captainrich Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 11:37 am New ebay seller daaber61 (zero feedback, of course) has posted an auction with the title: "2 Gold 1968 Penny's. Test 10k acid test using yellow capped jeweler's test acid." He claims, "Grand father found these years ago. I tested them using jewelry acid test kit. Holds at 10k. Rare indeed." The starting bid is $50, but there's a hidden reserve... Of course, Seller does not accept returns. https://www.ebay.com/itm/354143356440 I let him know about the mistake in his listing... that the title should have the word "Cent's" and not "Penny's."

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 5:56 pm The coin is "one cent", the name of the coin is more often "penny" (even the U.S. Mint calls them pennies). These will be removed by ebay. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
