The real "sucker" here is the seller, doing things like this to people will come back to bite him, true story------------------BigE

now wait...isn't ~$250 pretty good for an ounce of gold or is this thing not pure?

Cladiator

If it's a real bidder than they are truely too stupid to survive. The auction clearly states the metal composition, size and weight. The picture also plainly shows the word "COPY" on the coin. Anyone bidding on that for real and for that much money is lacking in the brain cell department.

Composition: ................10 mil

Does anybody know what a "mil" is??

Snoodle

1 mil is 0.001 inch

it is a unit for measuring thickness.

The composition is 10mils of 24kt gold electroplated to some mystery clad metal base.

Whoever bought that coin was careless.

That's the one sold by Franklin Mint(?) on late night TV. My icon is a largemouth bass. I like to fish for them. I use lures and live bait, whatever it takes to get them to bite. After I catch them. I throw them back so someone else can have the same pleasure. I can imagine this seller, sending the money back after the buyer throws his fit, and the seller says, "I caught you! ...but I'm gonna let you off the hook this time."

Uhhh....this same bidder has purchased THREE of these from the same seller. Draw your own conclusions......

Wasn't there a scammer on ebay a few months back selling copies as genuine that lived in Springfield Ohio? I seem to remember them being turned in to thier local police and then was arrested and thier ebay account NARU'd.

Snoodle is corret about this, but the company that makes these things has redefined mil for their own purposes as a MILLIONTH of an inch or 0.000001 inch. So a 10 mil plating is 0.00001 or 1/20 the thickness of the copper plating on a one cent piece.

Did some math and that thing has .000434 oz of gold on it, and at $420 per oz the gold is worth 18 cents.
