Me and a few others here told him on a FB group his coin wasnt legit and tried to help him out, but it would seem he was only there to confirm he had hit the Jackpot since he subsequently posted it on ebay soon after...

It was a 1942 nickel that looked plated, but he thought was some super rare chrome nickel like they had in 1944 and 1945.

Buy it now was $500,000.

*edited to correct the year to 1942

Thank you, Dollar! What a mess. That person will now think that ebay removing the listing is part of a conspiracy to defraud them of their incredible treasure.
