    Hmmm, sent him a quick note to turn the camera upside down and then the penny will be right side up...

    Nhsanenut1 is an excellent description of the text and "I need the money" an excellent description of the motivations.

    He's selling an uncirculated 2011 cent which the Red Book values at 30 cents (my guess since I don't have a 2014 copy), along with a $10 bill, which is described as a silver certificate, but is not.

    Yes, Uncirculated new cents list for 30 cents apiece in the Red Book. The coin looks like it's got a spot and few hairlines to me, but since it's upside down it's harder for me to grade it. image

    Shall we file this one under "desperation" or "looking for a bigger fool?"

    No need. Just turn your monitor (laptop, or whatever) upside down!

    Coin won't grade, it looks cleaned. Perhaps he can get it slabbed with the
    obverse upside down in recognition of its special status.
