1913 V-5c for $50,000, can anyone top this for ridiculous sales on eBay?

I was writing an article about a 1912-D V-nickel and came across this listing on eBay.

Can anyone top it? I know there are some other ridiculous coins there. One I saw was a rare 1913 Buffalo nickel, dateless, with no mint marks on Liberty for only $450 or best offer. How the seller knows it's a 1913 is beyond me, as it's a type 2.

The relentless auctions of Lincoln cents with the "L in the rim" for obscene amounts of money kill me..... But my all time favorite was at a local hole in the wall dealers shop. He had the most crudely fashioned faux 1913 V-nickel in a ratty old 2X2 in his display case. He had written a price of two million on the old 2X2. Now his was an outright joke like many of these absurd Ebay ads should be viewed as.

 

Holy cow, somebody found a 6th 1913 nickel and selling for only $50k?! What a win!

What a deal and that’s a coin I don’t own. Maybe I should buy it.

 

I'll sell you my "extra" for 60k. Well...I have to make a small profit.

I like my avatar. Would have cost me a fraction of that. But it got away.

 

Sorry but I feel that’s overpriced.

 

Too bad it's harshly cleaned or I'd be all over it.

Maybe he would come down on the price if you pointed out the cleaning. Alternatively, that may be why it's so cheap.

 

That and throw in that cool doily and we have deal.

 

Long years ago I heard a story about a man in California had found a circulated 1913 V Nickel. The story I heard was that there were six 1913 V Nickels instead of 5, and the boy had bought an ice cream cone with one of them and kept the other 5. He never admitted to it as it would possibly lessen the value of his other 5 coins. I can't say this is true, but what if it was?

 

It's got the cleaning scratches, because they were cleaning the hot chow mein noodles off it.

 

This sounds like the 1894-S dime ice cream story all mixed up with the fact that Samuel Brown and then Col. Green once had all five 1913 nickels. Pure bunk.

 

Just what I figured. Like the 1913 I've got, "Fake"!

 

I’m afraid all 1913 Buffalo Nickels are fake except for the five in private collections since they are each a seven figure coin.
