Amazing! The cent is copper colored and the dime is silver colored. The seller forgot to mention thr bi-metal planchet error. 19 bidders-you are kidding me !!
They are all members of the Latin fraternity NON COMPOS MENTIS.
By the way, I once owned a 1916 P obverse dime glued to the back of a D mint Mercury dime. Looked pretty good and in a 2x2, no edge was visible. I sold it as a novelty at my coin club for $5. Maybe I should have put it on ebay. Too late !

My God! $255 final bid price.
That kind of price would buy me a real good digital scale I needed to weight my 1999 D thin dime I had posted yesterday also.

Yeah--what else explains blowing $255 on that junk? Cover the kid's ears when the buyer finds out the truth.

My favorite part is the wheat side looks to be the size of a normal Wheat cent with no distortion, and as numismo pointed out is a copper color. 255 dollars... ouch. He is also selling a Peace dollar with two obverses as well as a 64 kennedy two header, but he does say that those could be "magician coins". Guess I need a metal shop .

That second one looks like it is the same blurry picture for both sides. It even has he same glare spots and everything. If someone pays 10 grand for that, even if it was real, they probably need their head examined.

Did you notice the rim is cut down into the lettering at the top of the cent?
