Too Funny.... an "honest"(?) listing typo

I was looking at the (GW) MS67's available on eBay, and this caught my eye:

Linky Dink

But the part that made me read, and reread... was this:

"Coin received may not be actual coin received."

Ummmmm.... okay - so, it's an imaginary tranforming disappearing reappearing alternative coin??

  • It would really freak me out if I received a coin that wasn't the actual coin I received.

    That is pretty funny. I am pretty sure that that is the first 67 GW dollar I have seen.

    Reminds me of "All other things being equal, when does Munich reach this train?"

    Existentialism at its finest image
  • Actually, I just reported the guy for his listing violation. The coin for sale must be in the picture according to eBays rules.
  • I'm still giggling over this....

    Can any of you see any edge lettering on that coin?Maybe just the angle,but it appears to be a smoothy in 67FDI.

    Are you looking at the same one as in the OP? The angle is straight on. The number corresponds to a lettered edge coin.

    "Pop-tops" are a kind of beer/soda can! I always laugh when I see that term used for a coin. image

    A top population coin should be referred to as a "Top-Pop"! image
    FULL Heads RULE!

  • By The way, I've been asked a few times now to show people where a rule is that I make reference to and I am happy to do so.

    Be sure though that If I mention a rule infraction that I can steer you directly to it on Ebays site:-)

    This is a response that I got , for example asking about the same stock photos in different listings which by the way were used by different sellers. I've already shown in this thread where it is against the rules. deb works or worked for the seller. I called them on stock photos and numbers on slabs that were intentionally blurred by a photo program so that the slab could not be identified.

    So stock photos = not the coin you bid on= against the rules on eBay= Some Power Sellers get away with it


    Item: 2000 - 2006 SGS MS70 GRADED SILVER EAGLE MILLENIUM SET (8421590211)
    This message was sent while the listing was active.
    aboncom is the seller.
    You are bidding on the set not the coins in the picture that is why the serial numbers are blurred.
    Thanks
    Deb
