This listing has got to be the most unbelievable coin listing that I've ever seen on ebay.

1 Million Dollars for a 1980D cent? *with no returns accepted

What is it about "errors" which make people so...nutso?
Pretty obvious victim of an acid bath, imo.

I find it really weird when people do that. If he wasn't so ridiculous about the amount he could actually find buyers willing to pay a lot more than it is worth. Heck, he might even pull off $1000 if the same people that buy obvious fakes come across this coin. While it wouldn't really be honest at that price I'd say it falls under "buyer beware" and if you're dumb enough to buy it so be it.

I tried to make a one penny offer however, a minimum of one dollar is required. So, this slickster is probably going to make some money on this regular coin and somebody is going to have a bad day! It truly is a sad state of affairs when people like this prey on other people.

Well, when an ebay coin auction offers free shipping I'm always willing to spend a little more on the coin. This one has free shipping, so.....

I was hoping it was rare. Do you know which part has only four known? The thin coin or the missing Lincoln. I haven't seen anything like this before. I would like to sell this coin. It would change my life. Thanks for looking.
