Seller is trying to pass off a plastic coaster as a coin. Can't believe anyone would fall for this and that he could keep a 100% rating. It does state this is a coaster, however how could it get bid up so high.

The shipping is more than this piece of plastic is worth.

Nowhere else is that thin line between reality and an alternate universe more prevalent than on ebay. No brain is required to play there, just a keyboard/mouse.

I agree that it's in the wrong section, but the seller also clearly states:

This is a Great Big 3" coaster to put drinks on.
Anyone who cannot use their eyes, and bids that ugly thing up--well, whose problem is that?

Looking for a chuckle I clicked on the link a couple of minutes ago. ebay says the listing is removed and sugested it might be more than 90 days old. Is that it or is something else going on? Still looking for a chuckle and I'll keep looking.

I reported this a few hours ago--no doubt others did too.
It will probably be relisted in the proper section.

Well I am glad a few got a laugh out of this, it was an ugly coin. It did state it was a 3" coaster, but then went on and apologies for the poor scans and the 2x2.
