    Looks like something you'd find at a souvenir shop.

    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.

    Looks like a rare mule worth thousands.

    Steve, the item you linked is a fabricated/bogus piece and not a genuine U.S. mint item. As best I can tell, no such "coin" was struck, even as a pattern.

    Mark,

    That's what I thought, so why are they bidding over $100 for it?

    Steve, the bidders are likely uninformed and/or greedy. It's as simple as that and sadly, stuff like that happens all-too-often on Ebay.

    At least the seller is being honest, he has no idea what it is. More power to him if he can get $100+ for the thing.
