    and that is why ebay and its feedback system are a joke
    Gold is for savings. Fiat is for transactions.

    buyer will probably return it and post negative feedback since the pic is a 2009 cent and not copper as the title suggests.

    Currency Wants: Any note with serial number 00000731

    It is a way of building positive feedback for sellers/buyers. It is also against ebay policy.

    Yeah, you're right. I should've read further. From the auction:

    "Looking to build up your feedback? BUY A PENNY... Great for new Buyers/Sellers!"

    Some of his previous auctions say, in the title, "ONE ORDINARY COPPER PENNY 1 CENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN GREAT For building feedback (#190915704432)"

    I'm a bit surprised he's getting away with it.

    It would be a little funny if we all went and bought a penny and all left negative! image

    eBay is a joke. This listing just proves it.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    I don't know, if you look at his feedback, pretty much all of the Cent auctions went for many multiples of face value. Saw one that was .55c and another .31c. Maybe he is just a helluva salesman. Haha.image
