    I think it wound up in a vise with a nickel in Harrys Momas garage.

    The seller is right in that the cent was "whacked" by a nickel die. In this case a nickel itself was the die and the hammer did the whacking. image

    Can I bid on the hammer separately?

    $179 It`s time to test the water on the old Railroad track error coins and see what their value is up to.

    This makes me very angry; some complete jerk taking advantage
    of an inexperienced collector. Broadstruck is right, we'll loose a potential
    error collector because of this.

    I hope the buyer returns the coin - and I hope eBay blocks the seller
    from ever listing anything in the future. Did anyone try and notify eBay
    that this was a bogus error coin ?

    Not as Described, Listed as an error which it is not. Should be able to get a refund, but I think the bider need a refund from the one handing out brains, or perhaps he missed that day.
