Vent away!!!
We can only hunt these down one at a time and report them when they happen.

Of course everyone knows the only real errors are those old Philadelphia coins without the "P" mintmark.. I hear they're worth BIG money! *ducks*

 

All about $$$$ sadly

 

Could be.. I've followed these type of listings for many years. I've even sent them messages explaining why their item is not a mint error.
Many respond back from them most of the time is "you don't know what you are talking about.. Mind your own business".. I don't send messages any longer since a few months ago on a similar item. It's called IGNORANCE

 

Willful ignorance. As in, "I could believe I've struck it rich, or I could believe some nobody messaging me out of the blue on eBay. I believe I'd rather be rich."

 

I resemble that!

 

Well many are probably desperate out there. If they were doing or felt like they were doing the right thing, they would not have responded in that way. And who knows, a messed up coin someone may want for some reason or another. If it were a 1992 CAM do you think someone would still buy in that condition? Not being sarcastic just some people think differently for different reasons. We can just assume but again with his answer, they did not defend it. Who knows?

 

Awesome! Mine have those darn mint marks lol

 

Is there a way to contact the bidder? Probably not!

 

Only the seller. Bidders ID are hidden.
It can be reported to eBay and they decide to remove the listing.

 

It was something their 3 year old did and they want to put it in their memories book that at that age, they drew art that demanded a high price.
Sort of like having a newspaper clipping of their "fame." LOL

 

LOL!!!!!

 

Check this one out: a a so-called 1943 copper cent. I'm guessing it's a normal 1948 with the left side of the 8 removed. smh

I don’t think it’s a 1948. But I also doubt authenticity

 

Hopefully people research.

 

And @71Avalon
I've seen a lot of Chinese Counterfeit 1943 Copper Cents floating around. They look pretty legit and unfortunately newbies fall for them

 

@Heavymetal
Google it!

 

Exactly!

 

You know, being honest online selling, one can do well. I mean not a millionaire but if one wants to make extra money. It catches up with the dishonest ones sooner or later.

 

Chinese counterfeits. I absolutely did not think about that. That's probably what this is.
