    I saw one that said Rainbow and Pastel in the description. The coin had bland tan crust. Whatever.

    "My grandpa gave me nine rolls of cents for Christmas." There was a "1909-S Lincoln" at the top of the roll and a "VDB" piece, both probably from China, on the other end.

    It's amazing how many "young eBay sellers" with Chinese replicas got them from their "grandpa." One fellow, who said he was that only grandchild that had in interest in "grandpa's coins" claimed that all of the better coins that were in "placards" (slabs) had been sent to "an east coast auction house." The only trouble was the "coin" he was offering, was a $20 St. Gaudens gold piece counterfeit in a counterfeit PCGS slab. If the coin had been genuine, it would have been worth over $20,000. I guess "the east coast auction house" missed that one.

    Let's fluff up the verbal pillow to support astronomical price (in my estimation, after reviewing HA prices realized) on a piece of early gold slabbed as "cleaned/repaired" on eBay:

    “REMEMBER, PRICE CHARTS LOSE MEANING FOR PREMIUM QUALITY RARE COINS. PREMIUM QUALITY COINS ARE WORTH PREMIUM PRICES -- ANY COMPETENT NUMISMATIST WOULD AGREE. PLEASE NOTE, THE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN BY A CAMERA WITH A LENS THAT UNNATURALLY MAGNIFIES THE COIN AND WITH IT SURFACE MICRO-IMPERFECTIONS, AND TO THAT EXTENT THEREBY DISTORTS THE FINAL IMAGE. SUCH SURFACE MICRO-IMPERFECTIONS ARE NOT VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. THE POINT BEING THAT THE COIN'S REAL TIME, REAL LIFE APPEARANCE IS DISTINCTLY BETTER THAN THE UNNATURALLY MAGNIFIED PHOTOS. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND AS YOU VIEW THE PHOTOS.”
