Isn't that the coin PCGS refused to grade? There was a lengthy thread some time ago discussing the FBI's opinion of the coin.

No, I'm sorry.....that's not the coin mentioned in the old thread. I'd be interested to see this one.

The guy says this coin has been in use! I assume that means it's worn. 12 bids!!! $16.00 Wow!
Maybe I'll try that! What gives?

I've got a whole sock drawer of those I'll le go for 10$ a piece!

99.999% chance the coin is either a memorial reverse, a misread 1958 wheat, or a magician's coin. At any rate, I wouldn't want to lay more than one cent on the line to find out.

He sent me the scans, but I don't know how to link them. It's a wheat- back and 59-D front scan.

CC- You forgot another possibility- a typo

bummer, I just missed out - $30 for a $10,000 coin (or maybe a 1cent coin) - I got the email scans from him but couldn't tell if one side was machined out.

Strange that he would rather email lots of people scan attachments instead of just uploading the picts to his auction 1 time.
