A clear case in support of buying the book before the coin.

I am surprised the Chinese have not copied this rarity yet.

Expensive way to broadcast a joke--I guess some people have nothing better to do. Can you imagine how much time this joker spent on this project? My ebay time setting up an auction is to important to be wasted on something like this--I definitely can find better ways to entertain myself than this--Counterfeit-Buffulow-Nickle

Sorry, but it made me laugh. That was worth the 93 cents alone.

Here is a nice guy with a good sense of humor who runs auctions like this occasionally. I think it helps draw attention to people who try to mislead. The seller in my opinion is good for the hobby.

Look closely at the coin.This guy is right. The real bufflo coin has an indian with only one eye showing!. Could this coin be a "Mule"? It might be worth a million sents. It's in a 2x2 so it's harder to grade but it looks uncirculated.

CLASSIC.

What really got to me was the Blast White color, the Buffalo looks so real you can almost smell him. AWWWWWW,thats probably why it says 5 SENTS below it.

By the way Rick,its up to $2.36... I see theres a Dan bidding on it. Thats not our Old Dan is it?

I think it's very clever.

Satire is one of the most effective means of making a point in a highly-charged atmosphere (figuratively speaking, of course. A truly 'highly-charged atmosphere' would not be ebay's response to forgeries, but rather the ionosphere or plasmasphere). [tm: sorry, geeked out for a moment]

But I'm surprised ebay hasn't pulled the auction in light of Bob's disclosure that admittedly counterfeit items are not allowed.
