    seems kinda high for a Chinese fake ... they aren't exactly collectible

    The ultra-grade Chinese fakes cost like $200+, but this isn't one of those.

    His sold listings tell a kind of amazing story, actually. There's the 1867 quarter that's been bought and returned twice. There's the 93-S Morgan that sold, and was evidently returned defaced -- and is now listed for sale with the "scratch" noted.

    He's slightly more clever than the usual inasmuch as he seems to have the junk in a pile with some actual low value coins, and he actually lists some of them for sale too.

    But. Yeah, this cull Liberty nickel was in the same coffee can with the couple of 94-S Barber dimes. Go figure.

    The 1921-D dime he sold is a counterfeit too.

    The buyers' feedback was "Just as pictured Thanks!"

    Yep, the picture was of a piece of junk, and he got it!

    It reminds me of the scene from the movie "Animal House" where the frat pledeges are getting hit on the butt with a paddle.

    "Thank you, sir! My I have another?"

    Aside from the general appearance, check out the date, which is uneven, and the up and down lettering for "In God we trust."

    the 1921-D dime is entirely fake, as is the 1871 quarter in the picture, im willing to wager its a "CC" the feedback entertained me is all, I thought I would share.
