Ladies and Germs I inadvertently damaged a couple of cents today. I then tried to hide the damage by cleaning and polishing them. It didn't work out so I'm going to release both into the wild tomorrow. Perhaps in a few days / weeks / months, some noob will post blurry photos of the same coins and ask what kind of mint damage they are, and also what the values are. DO NOT BE FOOLED.... These were damaged by me and are NOT mint errors. Feel free to refer the noob to this thread as proof. A few days later they will be for sale on Etsy for $35,000 each as rare double-die-counter-stamp-reverse-slippage-overstrike errors. DO NOT BUY! My apologies for the poor photos but they are better than what the noob will provide. Cheers JP
Nothing like a bit of entrapment Ill keep an eye out for a noob whos just spent 70K on 2 coins but cant afford a decent bit of kit to take some pictures of his prized possesion, then spots your post and puts in motion a counterclaim under section 14 of the 1981 counterfeiting act safe in the knowledge that 70K will return a nice bit of capital interest in the not too distant future,
JP@, Why would you place a deceiving post on CT. I do not see a good side to this at all. When I read your post the first thing that came to mind is what my parents used to say when I was on the wrong track, "God will get you."
