This particular auction house specializes in "old" toys but has a coin auction. Many of their listings are inaccurate to say the least, although they fixed some of them. But this listing caught my eye. Can you tell my why?

"U S Currency 1906 Standing Liberty Silver Dollar 1 Oz Of Silver Outstanding Condition"

Yes they forgot to flatten the staples on the 2x2.

Ah, return of an old "friend."

Thanks for sharing!

An early sighting, but without an image:

A pair of previous sightings:

- http://goccf.com/t/342407 - a bit more worn
- http://goccf.com/t/372966


Here's one dated "1816":

The 1906 ASE is a fairly common counterfeit and has been showing up on CCF for years.

The date on that one reminds me of a certain Salvador Dali painting.
