    43 watchers, and none of them are interested in buying it, just want to see if it sells

    I thought this has been on eBay all year?

    Seeing the photo posted here, I thought "not bad". When I clicked on the listing, I looked and then said out loud "Well, welcome to stupid-ville!".

    The coin itself is superb. The $1 million asking price is why we are critical (for those who won't click or who view this in the distant future).

    The heart is for pumping blood, the brain is for thinking. I don't love it near that much.

    That statement is made within the auction listing, seemingly by the seller.

    Are WE important enough to question such elite sellers? ;)

  • giorgio11giorgio11 Posts: 3,905 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ah. Thanks for that @BillDugan1959 copying @cameonut2011.

    Why doesn't someone make the seller an offer of 2 cents :o

    Who is the prospective seller (the eBay name doesn't ring a bell)?

    I don't know but it must be someone important to be owning million dollar coins. >:)

    @topstuf Somebody here must know the prospective seller's real name.

    Unless it is some really hinkey deal where somebody is trying to sell something they don't own, but could get a hold of.

    I got a kick out of this part of the writeup:

    "We feel that this spectacular CAC copper is worth our asking price. Anyone is free to disagree, just as we disagree with the alleged values of extremely common, vastly overpriced modern junk -- that has mintages and survivors in the millions or BILLIONS each -- being sold for four, five, or even six figure amounts. This 1857 penny is a REAL collectible coin whose uniqueness warrants its high price.

    This exceptionally beautiful violet, blue, gold, and red jewel is the single finest certified 1857 Large cent of any grade, color, or variety of the Large OR Small Date. It is vastly underrated in the tiny, brainwashed subculture of aging, hardcore coin dealers and collectors, who in our opinion have no clue about its true value and significance."

    Get the mustard out. Where are my Hawaiian shirts?

    Kind regards,

    George

    There's probably a way tinier subculture of collectors who can appreciate unsubtle deprecation before before forking over 7 figures

    Well if not for that 1 cent maybe. One million dollars and one cent?

    Oft-times it will make little sense
    To wash, then repeat and then rinse.
    But they think it’s OK
    To relist on Ebay
    These massively overpriced cents.
