A bit scuffed up, but well worth the $30,000 BIN price. beauty

What do you think the seller's reaction would be if you offered him one for $50?

....Its idiots like that who have no idea of what they are auctioning, that give us bad names. Some poor schmo will bid on this piece of crap ( at any amount of money ) and realize later that he's been taken.
....Maybe the seller MEANT to say: copper plated 1943 Wheat Cent... that's worth at least a whole dollar, as a curiosity.

I wonder if he has any more. I'll take two!

That is a great picture he put up too. Makes me want to buy one!

And ... you would think that if he gets 12,000-30,000 for it he/she could absorb the 8.25 shipping cost.

Where's "popeye" (or, something like that) when you need him?!

Shamika

Hey, I've got one of those! First person to PM me can have it for an even $1000.00. I'll even include the shipping costs.

Bikingnut

I wonder if he can provide a picture.

This seller is just clueless. From the items he/she has purchased, it looks as if he/she knows nothing about coins.

If that does happen, the "schmo" will get what he deserves for not doing his homework......

Apparently you people are thinking about the 1943 Nickel plated cent. What this guy is selling is a "Nickle Plated Penny." I'm sure these gems are much more scarce than the aforementioned coin. They must be well worth the modest $30,000 BIN. In fact, the seller was probably concerned that this tremendous rarity would be stolen. That's why he didn't post a picture.

Nickle, not to be confused with the common metal nickel, is an extremely rare and is priceless. It could go much higher than $30k!

And we should feel sorry for a moron willing to part with $12K over no more info or expertice than that?? Any bidder on something so stupid and vaguely described deserves to be parted with their money - at any cost.
