Unrealistic Coin Price Thread

Hey all,

Since I keep coming across these and laughing, I thought it might be a good idea to compile them all into one thread so we can all have some good laughs! Here's one from Craigslist.

Haha, thats hilarious!

 

Lol~

 

You guys should copy paste the ad, because they will eventually be taken down

 

Probably a joke. "Plz" is usually used by people <25, either that or that person is clueless.

 

Here is one for you. They have 3 available.

LOL!! A nautical/pirate theme with 19th & 20th century US coinage, 1 Sold. Hahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh. That's great.

 

For that cent, isn't that a CT member's (Shoewrecky) avatar?

 

Historical. Gee, I wonder how he got 3 of them. Do you see the large cent and the wheats, and the steels. What a joke

 

I love that they took stock pictures from PCGS or something similar and spent the time to lay them over the other "coins". They have a picture of a large cent but no mention in the description that you could even receive it. Make sure you work out the dimensions of that box... I don't even know if it would fit a box of cards!

 

Soooo, no large cent?

JK

 

My guess is that the chest is worth more than the coins.

 

I feel bad for the person who was duped into buying it.

Hmmm....50 coins...would probably work out like this:
40 "pure copper" wheat cents. Actually they are 95% copper.
5 steel wheat cents.
3 buffalo nickels.
2 Mercury dimes.


A $20 value...yours for just one easy payment of $118.01

I am actually going to report this auction, and I suggest others do as well.

He is showing Indian head cents, and a large cent in the mix.

While that is not against policy, he is using a stock photo from another website without permission, you are not allowed to do that.

GovMint.com sent me an envelope in the mail with a big, $100 note, silver art bar pic on the outside of the envelope. (Thanks for the advertising guys! Have never purchased from them before but they send me junk mail.)

I opened it to see what they were asking for them. By the huge pics I assumed it was the 4 oz bars. Nope. Turns out they're selling these in 1 oz. bars for ONLY $99 a piece.

 

Same ad ran in the newspaper last week.

 

It's not a coin, but it is WAY overpriced! I got the e-mail the other day and laughed.
