Another Trick Nickel Fetches $76.00

Think that one through....for like 5 seconds.

But who would buy such a thing. Any one into error collecting is going to know that it is impossible to get two headed with differing dates. I really don't understand the source of demand?!

Well.. just because someone is into error coins doesn't mean they know a whole lot. There are a LOT of un-edumacated collectors out there. They like certain things, but haven't taken the time to educate themselves on what certain things are, how they are created, etc.

There's always a period of time between when a person starts collecting and when they start learning about collecting. It's within that time where they are most vulnerable - and it's exactly that time-frame that sellers like this are targeting.

If that buyer had done one search on google on a double-headed coin, they would have seen 85 results from this forum alone (ok, only a slight exaggeration) and would have been pre-warned. Simply, some just don't do their research until it is too late.

I don't see how you know nothing about coins/ don't collect coins and find a "Error" like that living in the UK? Do they just have rolls of US coins at their banks interchangeable?
