Okay, maybe one of the weirdest ever. I don't get it.

    Definitely weird. He's on Ebay and being honest about it.
    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    That was my thought as well. We all know bodybagged coins are not slabbed, but it seems the seller made it look as if it is. Not so honest IMO. - Preussen

    I wish I would have found it before the auction ended! That would have made a nice addition to my counterfeit collection and it has certification saying it is (even if not in a slab)!

    The top two bidders are located in Poland and Germany. Who knows whether they understand enough English to know what "Not Genuine" means.

    It's certainly a dishonest auction intended to suggest that an NGC-certified item is being sold. Especially since Ebay requires sellers to verify that the coin is genuine.
