Here's one



Feel free to add your thoughts, comments, or post some coins of your own.
I'm pretty sure this coin is not worth $6 + $8 + tax + ship.

Filler for someone filling holes in a coin album.

What???

I suspect someone thought it was an 1885 when they submitted it.

GrumpyEd

Maybe it was an 1886 hole filler? that was realy an 1898.

If it sells for $6 it's amazing.
(LOL after I saw the listing)

Yup. It is one of the key dates in the series. I would rather look at an empty hole in my album than this POS but to each his own.

Looks like it was dug out of the ground.

YaHa

Looks like a sewer coin.. Hell someone will buy it..

This one reminds me of the recent thread about dreck. Looks to me like a coin that should meet the smelter and be put out of its misery.

HAH! Let me guess: That morgan with the vomit-toning had the little "rainbow" icon next to it, right?

Oh, of cousre, but I wonder why they don't have one for fingerprints.

Awful.

Both coins should be spent on bubble gum.

Teletrade has always had a reputation as a dumping ground used by dealers trying to unload crap they couldn't otherwise sell. The examples discussed here fall into that category.

It's a lot easier for me to understand someone sending it in for slabbing hoping for an 1885 or an 1886 than to understand someone paying around $20 (with juice and shipping) for a POS example of a common date. Buying plastic, maybe? (But why, for an ANACS "details" graded problem coin?)
