*Snif * snif * Ugh... what's that stench coming from?

Oh. It must be this!


<< <i> I BOUGHT IT OFF OF EBAY ABOUT A MONTH IN A HALF AGO..I PAYED 810.00 FOR THIS PENNY..DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS I NEED TO SELL FOR THE MONEY... >>




I'd have health problems, too, if I'd paid $810 for that! (Lead poisoning, after shooting myself in the head...)

Russ

Is it my imagination, or is that counterfeit?

Edit: Just saw the word "large" in the listing. It's a coaster.

"I PAYED 810.00 FOR THIS PENNY"

Someone here is a sucker. The seller previously or the buyer bidding.

eagle7

Watch where you are stepping boys! It sure is getting deep around that guy's auction. Yes there is something seriously wrong with that one cent piece and with the scoundrel who is auctioning the thing.

lordmarcovan

ROFLMAO.

Funny, Russ.

I guess that must be the "Lincoln ate a lemon" variety?





Hmm. Apparently, the poor schmuck is telling the truth about what he paid for it, unless he was a shill for the original seller.

61 bids. Wow. P.T. Barnum is laughing, somewhere out there in the Great Beyond...

He/she paid $810 for it. That's a shame.

Peetie

He sure buys a lot of airplane parts...You sure that is not Airplanenut in disguise?

Russ

That's strange. They're both in Logan, OH.

How could someone with enough brains to get $810.00 buy a coin that was so clearly a counterfeit of the most obvious proportions??

Unbelievable.

Not only are they both in Logan, Ohio, but the previous seller, Kathy-54, also seems to deal in r/c airplanes. Coincidence?

dbldie55

I can make him a hell of a deal on another. We sell these for around $3 when we have them.

cascade

I used to have one of those..

lordmarcovan

I had the 1877 Indian cent version, myself. And a 1916 Standing quarter, too, I believe.

lordmarcovan

Hmm. Seller ended the auction.

Except for the one word "large" I didn't see anything to tell the uninitiated that it isn't an actual legal tender one cent piece.

Seems to me if I were selling an '09S VDB I'd sure mention it in the title!

originalisbest

Funny Rob, from the title of your message I could've sworn you were talking about the festering, unlamented corpse of GS!

sad thing is he's not lying link

Abe looks ,ore like Sylvester Stallone than himself

coindaughter

Not again! There was one of these auctions last summer that the Forum EBay police shut down quick. what a shame.

lclugza

It seems to me that the auctions by Kathy54 and Propnut47 look an awful lot alike--- and Propnut47 didn't leave Kathy54 a negative for the $810 coaster.

coppercoins

I believe the bad goods have been exposed and the lively auction between one person and his alter ego is now dead. I guess eBay will take out the trash in the morning.

NoGvmnt

Why did he leave a "Highly Recomended AAA ++++++" feedback with the seller?
And, he used her exact same listing!!!

<< <i>Except for the one word "large" I didn't see anything to tell the uninitiated that it isn't an actual legal tender one cent piece. >>



If there's anyone so uninitiated not to see how fake that is, I can't feel too sorry for them losing $800 on it. It would take having never seen a true Lincoln cent before to believe that one was real.

jeffnpcb

I've never seen Lincoln look so sad!!!
