Biggest "Coin Related" lie you've ever heard

What is the biggest, most obvious lie you've ever heard related to coins or coin collecting. Something like I got this 1823 half dollar in change or I discovered this buried chest full of American Silver & Gold Eagles. You know the funny stuff

SGS's MS70 collection comes to mind

 

I'm starting to have second thoughts about Taco Hell.

 

"This coin trends at $1 million but I'm offering it starting at one cent with no reserve!"

 

Chuckle, now that's a common one on the old "Bay of E..."

B

 

We have but only one of these per state, and the operators are standing by to take your call. Remember this is a complete set of N. G. C. certified ms-69 silver eagles for $1,250.00 when there gone there gone call now, we will not come back to this after the break. And they say no one can beat there price, I bet the people at S.G.S. can beat that price and it will be ms-70.:computer:

 

Well I saw this one on the Bay today:

"Judge for yourself, I'm not a coin grater".
Ha I should hope he doesn't grate coins. Maybe he grates carrots!

 

MIKE,
Sorry, I forgot the two N.G.C. storage boxes you get with set of silver eagles. I wonder if S.G.S. has storage boxes for there set ?

 

This is a novodel and is very rare!!!

(when the coin itself is not even original)

 

When I was a kid (12) one of my dad's friends lent me a hoard of Mogans (423 of them) to help him grade and figure out the best way to liquidate them as they had been his fathers. I took them to a dealer and he said, "Well they all look like they've been cleaned so I can offer you spot silver for the lot of them." BTW, they had not been cleaned I knew at least that much. He finally used an auction company to distrubute them after I helped him grade them all.

 

Bought a 53A $2 ob the Bay de E and the guy said he wasn't a coin greader. He wouldn't be selling it if he were.

 

"Silver american coin dollar from china! only $0.99 american!"

 

+ 15.99 Shipping & Handeling

 

Buy now.. Limited number produced. Or how about you will be hard pressed to even see another coin like this.. (except for the five others in the showcase)

 

THIS SET CONTAINS EVERY YEAR OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL PENNY SERIES FROM 1959 TO 2006!!! THIS DEAL SHOULD BOOK AT $190,000 + !!!

MS70!!!! lol

 

$190,000 hah, he needs to move that decimal point back three places

 

You've got to admit that's a pretty compelling collection of gold foil stickers.
