Submitted for your entertainment is the ebay listing, which follows. This "Discovery Specimen" can be yours for the low, low price of only $199 (plus $2.45 shipping). You will most definitely be the first on your block to own one. If you have a moment, you should look at the Sellers other "Discovery Specimens", that are also for sale. To say that this is wrong, just doesn't do it justice. I hope no one will bite on such a blatantly untrue listing.

OK, who has the stones to invite the seller here so we can discuss this with him? Makes me ashamed to have been born in Albany.
You know, one of my very favorite coins is one that I bought on ebay, from this Seller. I was extra cautious, and for under $11, I won a real, honest-to-gosh, 1943/2 Jefferson Nickel, with both DDO, and DDR. I really lucked out. But it seems like this Seller mixes reality and Fantasy. Is he serious thinking that he's found all these Discovery Specimens? He just can't be. Maybe it's a situation of a little knowledge that has gone bonkers. I suppose it's also a possibility that he's intentionally misleading folks to get their money. Either way, he's pretty much shot his reputation from where I'm sitting. Jack
Well, I guess it's a natural specialization for him -- his eBay username itself has TWO errors! The B has moved from the first position to the third, and the O that was supposed to be before the N has been overstruck with an A.
Now that's funny, Jeff. Besides making laugh unto tears, you have entirely too much time on your hands (and that's NOT baloney). Jack
