Sac mule for sale on Ebay?

LastExitInNY · October 15, 2005 7:39PM

Weren't all the mules 2000-P? This one sure looks like a D not a P, though the seller says its a P. What do you think? [/IMG] Ebay page

If that picture is any indication, looks like some major hairlines. Don't know if the mules were P only.

Edited to add: It sure looks like a quarter stacked on top of a Sac., cleverly photoshopped.

Well, he says its a P. With everything I have read, no D mule mint marks eve been found. The error itself was human error. Chances of the same error at both mints are probably a billion to one. If its a real D mule and not a photoshop, it would be really rare, but what do I know?

fake, fake, fake.

LastExitInNY · October 15, 2005 8:11PM

Yeah I say fake too. Just trying to figure why he would try to sell off a fake besides the usual reason.

My bet is that it is one of those fakes where they have hollowed out a Sac, inserted a cut down quarter, and they have given it a copper plating. There appears to be a groove around the outside of the quarter. Especially at the bottom below DOLLAR.

Many novelty pieces were made by hollowing out a Sac$ and filing down a Quarter to fit inside. Then they are gold plated. These are offered often on eBay as novelty pieces for just a few dollars. This is clearly one of those pieces.

<< If you are on the fence about what to do, then pay for your purchase with PayPal and purchase buyers protection insurance so you can submit the coin to PayPal for a full refund if you are not completely satisfied. >>

What's wrong with him not giving a refund if someone is not satisfied ???

Why hasn't he submitted it to a grading service then he wouldn't have to settle for a "modest" price ???

Duh, it's not a real mule!!!

100% man-made error. You can clearly see the "line" on the opbverse where the SAC was hollowed out and the Washie was made to fit.

100% man-made junk.

Its a fake. Either he got duped or he is trying to dupe somebody. Its worth $9.99 I think that was the price of those novelty mules when they were available..

Gemini · October 15, 2005 11:45PM

You can see flat spots and a wavy rim from the quarter being pressed into the sac.

Run away from that mess

<< If that picture is any indication, looks like some major hairlines. >>

If it were actually real I don't think that would matter much.

<< Either he got duped or he is trying to dupe somebody. >>

He didn't get duped. He's running a scam. This line is the tell:

<< I received this coin in change in July 2001 or August 2001 at a branch of the US Post Office in Pittsburgh, PA. >>

One of the real mules came from a postage vending machine at a post office. I'm sure he read that story and decided it might lend some credibility if he added it.

I'm with Conder. As fake as you can get!

That is a D mintmark right?

I wrote the seller suggesting he stop the sale and submit it for authentication. He just wrote me saying he got over 125 emails about it and is going to cancel the auction and submit it. We'll see what happens.

xbob · October 17, 2005 10:24AM

So I watched this auction. Seller never pulled it for authentication.

Sold for $1125.00 (25 bucks over his reserve). A zero feedback bidder put in the reserve in the last hour (hmmm?).

A 32 feedback buyer bought it. I hope for his sake it is genuine but I am strongly thingking a noob got chumped.

I made an updated thread and posted it. Sad to see that someone might have gotten robbed, literally.

Let's see....we report all keyword spammers...but no one here says let's report a fake coin????

I'd attach the link, but I don't have the time to find it and post.
