I wonder how the seller has so many transactions with those kinds of prices, and not even showing the coin.
All of his other listings were normal. I'm not completely sure what this was meant to convey.

Many of these auctions are amusing, yet if you dig a little deeper you will find the ocassional jewel, so to speak.
Many of these sellers are somewhat new to eBay and yes- some of these auctions are laughable in their descriptions and prices, yet when searching the seller's other auctions- bargains can be found.
I just picked up four lots for a seller above with a value 5X's the market rate on a slew of coins offered. Two were with 'Offers' that were accepted.
Have some fun- check the other auctions offered and see if you can't also locate the ocassional diamond in the rough.
@braddick just witnessed:

Like picking sterling from the rummage at the free shack at the recycling center. I seek sellers who sell the same rummage on eBay who ran into a hoard. Often it is less than face value.
Describe something in a search that you don’t know how to describe, e.g. medal disk with blurred letters, (metal disc, misspell words); Jethro Bodine sells out there when he gets lucky.
More edit: supplies show up too with non-numismatic descriptions.
Seems totally legit to me...I've been looking for a role like this.

it would be better to start a "report counterfeit" titled thread despite the counterfeit being laughable in these cases (and multiples are selling)
I've reported them along with PMs to four other members here that are good at reporting these items. I would hope those efforts would get the job done, yet I do also thank you for seeing these and reporting them yourself.
I think this coin would really get some negative vibes.

That seller's listings always bother me. The multi-colored lighting setup, the clearly juiced contrast/saturation in post, and the silly "FROM ORIGINAL COLLECTION" headline are all very disingenuous.

They used to sell really worn Philippines five centavos coins as silver twenty centavos coins. I'm sure that multiple people were deceived since they are the same size. I don't think that it is on purpose, I believe that they perhaps hired some workers who know little to nothing about obsolete and/or foreign coins. Their job is to label, and they label what they see. All it takes is one person who has never seen a two cent before.

Yes always wondered what "Original collection" meant.
Could be that someone named Original collected them I guess. They could be from Joseph Original's collection.
This is at the top of the list when you search "cc".

I bet the high price is because they all have the "L on rim" and "In God We Trust on rim" errors.

It their version of a mystery box.
AU bid is $1100 -this coin isn't even AG and the date is just a hope.
Please, make baby Jesus laugh—
All four of these sellers have one thing in common.
They each are selling counterfeit Standing Liberty quarters:

Probably a single selling source with multiple eBay handles.
If one gets NURU'd there are others to fall back on.
