Error Gold on Ebay

Read the question in this auction. When I first saw this I figured he was on crack because of the price and the low quality of the coin. What do you think?

Looks like a brass fake made for jewelry, with a pin removed from the back.

That is a real coin. I sold it to this guy for $25k last week in a Chinatown Swap meet. HE HE!! Hate to see his listing fee unless he paid .10c on the listing a few days ago.

The maximum insertion fee is $4.80 for any amount over $500.

I sent him this just to see if he will respond...

Dear rashan2328,

Not that it is a real big deal since no one is going to bid on this item. But it is almost certainly a previous (ex) jewelry piece, probably cast brass.

As for the previous question, here is a link to PCGS's web site - as you can see, there is no "D" for this date. http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&filename=liberty_eagle

Do people really buy this crap? if so im going to rustle up some elves and start churning out crap like this. wow, i thought this type of stuff on ebay was an urban legand, but with the $10,000,000 time machine, i guess its always time for the nut jobs...

But is he backpedaling now? No matter, I don't think anyone with 32k would be that dumb.
