2 1877 indian head penny commemorative coins very rare key date
i have 2 1877 indian head pennys that are huge very rare key date coin my dad used to work at the us mint and said they only made a couple hundred of these coins.
i would say people are crazy to think they would get that amount of money for something like that, but it happens every day
ebay has links to crazy prices paid for random things yet for them to buy something that will hold some sort of value and not something totally novelty and emotional,
no wonder most people have little to no wealth to speak of. the lack of appreciation how investments/hedges (certain kinds of course) can make one wealthy/wealthier
i see a few people i know do it. they often talk about the wealth-building generation, which happens to NOT be my generation, but 1 & 2 before

I did write the seller a "nice" message informing him the items were novelties and while depicting rare items, were not in themselves rare or valuable. I've received no response.

I did ask the seller what Mint his dad worked at and he said he worked at the Denver Mint. I don't think they made any IHC there.
