In the latest "marketing" trend, the U.S. half cents category has been visited with idiots posting European coins from the late 1700s-early 1800s under the guise of "they may have circulated in the U.S. at that time."

Here is another one being sold as a "New York Half Cent".

Trolling for suckers. These are junk box coins.

Ugh.

    Man, he put a lot of effort into making up a long story, and all that text took some cutting and pasting too.

    Don't tell me your not going to dive down to collect shipwrecked coins without bringing one or two shells up with you? image

    "1790 New York VOC UTRECHT Half Cent Proof" image Proof wow I can really see the mirror fields in that one.
    It might even pass as a DCAM.

    I am sure that this coin was "uncirculated for most of its life." You can't deny that but you'd have to admit that when it did circulate it really circulated. image

    That would be Rocky Graziano. And then there was Jake LaMotta...how 'bout the Cinderella Man, James J. Braddock. And then there was the toothless, ear biting lion, Mikey Tyson. image

    Oh yeah, the Bronx Bomber; except 'ol Joe wasn't from the Bronx. image

    Mac, wouldn't you agree that Cus D'Amato was the true New York Boxing Lion?
