Here's a good one, and I don't usually go for the eBay scammer type threads, but this guy is either a clear idiot or my eye-sight is fading fast.

Here's the link. Notice that the obverse shows a 1944 and the reverse shows an "S" mintmark next to the building, evidentally meaning that this is the rare Type One MM Jefferson error.

    That's what I see Al. That doesn't mean were right though. image
    I brake for ear bars.
  • Good feedback..... return policy...... image

    Bid on it and ask for the pictured coin... maybe you'll cherrypick the guy......
  • What date was it that had the counterfeit war nickels with the small
    mintmark to the side of Monticello? Hmmmmmm

    Did you READ the return policy? image

    Yes, he has a return, but no refund on postage. MINIMUM postage is $6!!!!!

    I'd love to sell like that too...if I didn't have a conscience.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • For auction is another Brilliant Uncirculated Jefferson Nickel which has never circulated. This coin is beautiful and Mint State also. Thanks.

    Uhmmmm hmmmmmmm.
    He titles his auction for a 1940-S and shows instead an impossibly mintmarked 1944 that looks like it's covered in aluminum foil to boot?
    And...he gives new meaning to redundancy when he informs us that this "Brilliant Uncirculated" coin......"has never circulated."

    Please...someone here bid so we can find out if he steps up stupidity another notch by mailing out a gold-covered chocolate coin taped inside a #10 envelope.

  • There are no counterfeit war nickels with a small mint mark. It was 1944 with NO mint mark. There is also a single 1942-S with small mintmark known, and it is struck in the 35% silver composition. I think he is selling a 1940-S nickel and jst linked the wrong obverse picture.
  • Looks like he did a revision. Added another obverse pic and "doctored" the last 4 to blur it a little bit.

    Either he's too lazy to put the correct picture up or it's an obvious scam.

    hey Mike

    that was my initial thought, for about three-tehths of a second!!!!!!!! not much chance, though. the seller more than likely knows what he's doing and is just stupid, albeit funny.
