Besides, weren't the mules out of Phili, not Denver?

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

For some life lasts a short while, but the memories it holds last forever.

In memory of BL, SM, and KG. 16 and forever young, rest in peace.
Unfortunately, it's against eBay policy to interfere by contacting bidders.
It's not against policy, though, to report the seller to the eBay fraud department, which I just did. I also sent an eMail to the seller asking why he didn't have the coin authenticated. Slabbed, it would be worth HUGE money.

has that always been the policy? i've been warned of stuff in the past, and have done my share of giving heads up! didn't know it was a nono! :-O
I don't know if it's always been the policy, but a couple months ago I got a warning from eBay after I tried to give a heads up to a bidder who apparently was so offended by my attempt to help that he reported me. In this case, it was yet another seller trying to fob off an Accented Hair Kennedy that wasn't.

These may be purchased at $11.00 each or two for $20.00 from a box ad in the Numismatic News. Do you want one? -Art Ford, PMB133, 13782 Bear Valley Rd. D3, Victorville, CA 92392 (from the September 10th issue of Numismatic News, page 49, third column for the left, the 10th ad down).
It is a novelty and I even considered buying one (or two) just for fun.

Link to a real mule.

Huh? A coin pulled from a vending machine graded MS67?

I have a magazine (things you never thought existed) and the exact pic is in it, from what I remember anyway, and it was 19.95.
Let the experts and specialists bidding on the monstrosity work it out. Bear

I dont understand peoples cavalier attitude, I guess its the bidders money to throw away.

How about a link to the real mule from an anonymous party.

Certainly wouldn't be common, but not totally far-fetched, actually. I'm guessing new rolls were used to load up the vending machine.

This is not real. No the coin is not been certified and yes all mules so far found are from Phil. and this is a Denver mint Mule. Thank-you Randall >>
Emphasis added, so nobody would miss the important part. If he knows it's not real, what the hell is he doing here?
