    Its got to be some kind of joke. Who's going to pay $3,500,000 for a counter stamped cent from a 0 feedback seller?

    Hey, they got it all figured out.

    In conclusion, my family and I have figured that the mint made a lot of these coins for some political or public relations reasons. But, for some reason gave one or more away and the others were perhaps destroyed. I’ve lived in Denver all my life and I’ve never heard of such a thing. But again it lives. Please challenge us.

    This is WAY to spooky!!! I have the exact same year mm penny. Except it has the state of Minnesota on it. I always thought I had the only one.



    If I can find it, maybe I can post a picture of it tonight.

    Look at the coin is the "COLO." raised (i.e. not a counterstamp)?

    A little strong of an auction for the guy's feedback. Don't think I would spend $3.50 for it. Wonder what he would let it go for? After all , it can't be explained, but it exists!image

    I cannot believe that you guys are actually bidding on this let alone that this person actually put this up for sale!

    True, this is one goofy a$$ed auction and I guess if your gonna put in your token bids, might I suggest running it up to about 70 million!

    That might even make the papers!

    I would, just to make him pay an enormous FVF then wait a week to get it back, but I might get a NPB strike =(
    It's tempting though--he'd have a $1,050,000 final value fee image

    He could have had sold it for more than $3.5 million. Alas, a profit that should exist, but somehow does NOT.

    ????? Whoever is bidding on the coin..... aren't you/they kind of playing with fire???

    I mean.... isn't there a LEGAL contract/responsibility when you place a bid?? If you trip the reserve amount, aren't you then responsible for the amount?? I know it's fun to be doing this for a 50 cent token coin, but whoever is bidding sure has a stronger nerve than I do. The seller has this item.... clueless as they are.... or bogus as they are.... but they have the item, and someone is placing bids on it. If I were the seller, and someone won it for 5 million, but wouldn't pay....I would probably be finding a good lawyer to help collect what I could......!!!

    Or did someone on the forum list this just for a fun game??
