How about an emotional interest? Or is that unhealthy?

Presumably because OP's not an unethical, dishonest coin dealer trying to rip off unsuspecting bidders on ebay, unlike the current seller with their AI-generated garbage.

Well said. Our hobby could always be better and have more integrity.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Don't get emotionally involved with every coin that comes along. They'll just break your heart just like they broke mine.

I have an emotional reaction to every coin I see - I hate some, love others, and am indifferent to most. Don't think any of them have broken my heart.

As someone who's bought and sold his fair share of coins over the past thirty-odd years it gets me when I see dealers doing things that purposely sabotage their own business in the interest of making a quick buck. Every collector who leaves the hobby because they get scammed by unethical bad actors is one more collector not spending money with us.

Unfortunately, there will always be plenty of uneducated buyers to take advantage of.

This conversation has gone in an interesting direction. I understand that I have no fiduciary interest in this coin anymore. I made that choice and happily stand by it, but seeing my coin on ebay did catch my eye, and perhaps it was morbid curiosity that guided me to the description. While it's not my business directly, and I understand that vendors need to make a profit, I still find it disgusting that someone will blatantly lie about it in the description--even if this is an "honest" mistake and the seller never proofread the AI description--sorry, no pass there, proofreading is the minimum expectation for using AI to generate text. This behavior, unprofessional and reckless at best, and predatory at worst, transcends making a profit and seeps into "scamming" territory. Yes, buyers should beware, but sellers should also do their best to foster a healthy community for the hobby we all love. Communities thrive on positive interactions--this behavior undermines this basic truth.

Seller has stuff like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/204520645196 rolls of wheat cents with cull Barber dimes on the end, so yeah, kind of on the sleazy side of things. I can understand your feelings about it.
