I Just Bought An Amazing Bar Cent Plated On The Coinfacts Site For Only $2,500 ...

... what do you think the odds are that I receive that coin?

    There is absolutely, totally and unequivocally no chance at all that you will receive that coin.

    Just as an aside, isn't it amazing how the word "plated" can have such highly desireable and highly undesireable definitions in numismatics?

    I know that most of you will be completely shocked by this, but the seller who was supposed to send me a real picture of the coin today, as opposed to the one that he lifted from the coinfacts website, instead sent me a request to cancel the auction ...

    Who woulda figured???
