It's funny how those hits by a lawn mower can make an 'error' coin.

Some one has actually bid on it! Oh dear!

Of course it's a real error....see those gloves in the photo? That's the mark of an expert!

Of maybe running over it with that lawnmower was an accident, and that is the error.

Hay this coin now has 2 bids, sad really that this person will make money selling a mangled coin.
Are people really that easily fooled by coins, or does the heading with the word "error" make people bid.
I don't know much, but I would have guessed with the damage line mirrored on the opposite side of the coin that it was squeezed with some type of tool.
