  You might be able to get it for 99 Cents if no one uses the BIN

  You're in luck.
  
  I'm feeling generous today. I'll front you the 200 bucks.
  
  
  
  
  Now, where did I leave that old Monopoly set? Hmm...

  Hey, it's just the BIN at 80 bucks.
  
  You could bid instead. Save some money. Starting bid is only three bucks.
  
  No takers yet, so hurry!

  Reported what? That some boob or eBay newb has an overpriced coin?
  
  PS- he's from Alabama, so what did you expect?
  
  PPS- before anyone from Alabama takes offense at that last quip, I'll point out that I'm from Jawjuh, and we ain't a whole lot better.

  From the feedback, it looks like the seller bought it last week and changed the color--either virtually on the photo, or did some kind of rinse on the coin?

  Hmm. Maybe looks a little "coppery" in the picture, but no, I think it's just a regular Steelie. Don't think the seller's trying anything weird. Just somebody who doesn't realize he's got a cheap coin not worth the starting bid, let alone the BIN, that's all. Somewhat laughable, but no criminality here that I can see.

  Interesting! Sure looks coppery to me, much more so than the actual steel 43P and D the seller bought last week.
  
  If I were listing it with bad intent I sure wouldn't say "copper"--just tint the photo and play dumb.
  
  Guess ebay thought it looked coppery as well 'cause I see it's pulled.

  Sorry, I'll rephrase: Where does it say it's copper.
  
  Congratulations on getting the auction ended. Another fine member of the Ebay police.
