    The seller does not realize that it was overstruck on an equally
    rare Denver nickel. Look closely and you can see the mintmark.
    I hope my Secret Santa/ Elf on the Shelf gets this for me. I
    would carve out a "Special" opening in my Dansco for it.:joyful::joyful:

    Oh, that one's a classic, even by Etsy standards!

    And such a steal at a measly $37,500!

    :hilarious:

    I literally LOL-ed at this listing. Best I've seen in a while. The seller's feedback is kinda funny, too.

    Maybe that's a typo for "great", but I suspect it actually was meant to say "greasy".

    ZoidMeister Hamlet Squire of Tomfoolery . . . . .

    With the "mint mark" over the dome of Monticello, that means it's silver too.

    Seller didn't mention that. An easy "cherrypick" . . . . . .

    All crap.. The last item.. The "1955 Double Die" is actually a Poor Man's Doubled Die. Not really a Doubled Die variety but not worth what he's trying to sell it for :banghead:

    It's so sad the amount of garbage that is listed on this site and others.

    I also like this "authentic" nail---Highly Rare 33AD Original Nail From The Crucifixion Of Jesus | Etsy

    This is a truly remarkable Christian Antiquity, perfect for a serious collector or religious scholar.

    Authenticity Is Guaranteed.

    I purchased this about 30 years at an auction. Originally paid $34,000 for this rare piece, now that I’m near retiring I’m letting it go for $25,000.

    Why are there two mint marks on the nickel.? One is on the right side of Monticello that looks like a "D".

    The Denver Mint shipped some processed coins to New Orleans to have them over stamped for the coin collector trade.
