<< <i>Yup, last night while eating some Cheetos, I found one and it was shaped like a little person. It had arms legs, a head, and what looked like a bikini top and I'm sitting there thinking who does this look like and all I could come up with was the Predator. Anyway, I set it aside thinking I can't eat that, it could be worth a ton of dough, remembering those idiots that auctioned a cornflake, the french fry the sandwich that looked like the virgin mary....I waited all of 5 minutes, then ate the little guy. >>

Why didn't you put it on eBay as Jesus? Probably could have made a few bucks

Didn't resemble Jesus, he looked like Predator, except for the bikini top... Shoot now after some careful research I'm wishing I'd have kept the little guy, there is a market for cheetos after all link

So, they are out of spec somehow and the mint sees them as unfit for circulation. So they destroy them.
Aren't these supposed to go into the melting pot?
How are they escaping the mint?
Are employees stealing these coins and reselling them?
Surely the mint does not have a policy of covertly supplying error coins to dealers through back-channels?
I've seen enough of these around to make me think that the supply is intentional. Therefore, this isn't an error coin in the sense that the mint attempted to prevent it from getting to the public. Or rather, that attempt to keep these errors from getting out has a huge hole in it!
Thanksgiving National Battlefield Coin Show is November 29-30, 2024 at the Eisenhower Allstar Sportsplex, Gettysburg, PA. Tables are available. WWW.AmericasCoinShows.com
Nothing could be rarer - except maybe the person that will bid over $200.00 for the thing.
Now at $172.50 .... going .... going ............
<< <i>Waffles are pretty cool. They're also pretty cheap now compared to what they were bringing when they first hit the market.

Russ, buddy - I think most modern mint products could be inserted in to the above statement in place of "Waffles"

True, but most modern mint products suck. At least the waffles look cool.

Are waffles available from the waffle contractor or how do you get ahold of them? --Jerry

Aren't all waffled Coins meant to be scrap ( trash)? I can't understand why anyone would want to pay good money for trash, that's all.
I guess it's like they say, one mans trash is anothers treasure.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Isn't that FleaBay's business plan, in a nutshell?
