Ya know, I thought I'd given up reposting silly eBay listings.

But this one is pretty funny.

Yeah, that is a pretty good one.

I wonder if its a 16d mercury blank?

...apparently, it doesn't mean much with this eBay posting.

 

it also must mean altered because someone did that to the coin, it is NOT wear

 

I sent a question, asked what specific date the coin is.

 

It looks like a steel punchout that I see on construction sites all the time. From the outlet boxes.

 

The user sells a lot of stuff and likely uses a template. It's template/user error clearly. It happens.

 

So all of his coins are a better date? Kinda like Lake Wobegon, where all of the children are above average.

 

I actually buy from him, his titles are similar....he obviously did not catch this one.

 

It's all marketing from some sellers perspective. Serious collectors can look and judge from the pictures themselves, they don't need the topic to tell them what they're buying.

 

Yeah, I recall buying from him once and was pleased with the coin. Although it might be me, but I do think some of his coins look whizzed/cleaned/polished, etc.

 

Absolutely! When I look through his inventory, I see some of this also, along with problem coins not noticable with a quick glance. I usually look the pic over thoroughly before purchasing from him.
