That would totally ruin my evening if someone would do that to me with a coin like that.   07-27-2007, 05:06 PM   #4 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,767 "Post Mint Damage Error" Must be a mistake!!

The value isn't that it's an error, it's that the damage is in the shape of the halo of the Virgin Mary. If he can pair it with an image of Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich, it'll be worth a fortune!   07-27-2007, 05:09 PM   #6 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,767 Holey, moley!!! __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"

I guess if you want a coin with the image of the Virgin Mary on it this one is for you. Looks more like a coffee stain to me, but what do I know.   07-27-2007, 05:23 PM   #8 (permalink) dreamer94 Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,434 Look at some of his closed listings (you can see them in the feedback comments). He just (as Al Franken would say) makes **** up. He has created his own error categories: GW dollar "starburst" error. John Adams dollar "angelic halo" John Adams "wild hair line" error   07-27-2007, 05:52 PM   #9 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,589 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by bqcoins just who is going to be dumb enough to buy this. bmw007w, who is hopefully not a forum member!   07-27-2007, 09:06 PM   #10 (permalink) Coinlover The Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Festus Missouri Posts: 3,088 2 bids! __________________ Star Note Lookup   07-27-2007, 09:21 PM   #11 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,474 Doesn't shock me - but if he would put them in a slab they would bring more. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

And yes, we do make fun of people who sell fake coins, mis-described stuff, bogus lots, and try to act to protect buyers from fraudulent sellers on eBay. And, no I will not shut up. Not until every bogus seller, rip-off-artist and con artist is removed from the marketplace. THAT IS constructive. Or, were you the seller? __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"
