So...say your young daughter who wants to buy you a Christmas present, but has no real coin knowledge is suckered by the ad....you would be fine with that?

 

I'd imagine the obverse will most likely be completely destroyed from the process.

 

For gifts like that, it's only the thought/who they are from, that counts.

 

I would tell her thanks. But It would teach her a lesson. I would keep it because I like altered coins such as the one in question..

 

By the way.. The item listing should of ended a few hours ago but it disappeared.
It was either taken off by the seller or removed by eBay.

Hard way to learn.

 

Does it come with a bag of chips...

 

Hehe.. My daughter is 19 and she gets me the same exact gift every birthday, Christmas and father's day..
A box of Ferrero Rocher

Ever since she was young I told her and her mom that's all I want! I always tell her "How did you know?" She laughs!

 

I could kill for one of those right now.

 

That works.
Just a month ago I told them I didn't want any more presents. None.
Especially gift cards.

 

Is the listing still up? I want to bid

 

I can't tell you how many times I bid for these types of coins high enough to win. I then photograph them for my research, then I return the coin for being sold as an altered coin. I always get refunded by EBay. This is often a good enough lesson for sellers when they have to fork over the money they already spent, and many of them knowingly sell them to rip people off. (If you say you don't accept returns, you know you're dishonest.)

 

Nah.. It was supposed to end just a few hours ago then the listing dissapeard.

 

It's not unheard of for a smaller planchet to be struck into a larger, but their listing seems to have mismatched dies as well lol.

 

Here's one I've always found fascinating. It's to bad they don't have the struck dime planchet to go with it but pretty amazing all the same.

 

Will you give me $2.00 for the like I just gave you?
Does that extend to personal taste?

 

All that AND a bag of chips.
