    I'd like to see screenshots of curious coin ads on eBay.
    They may feature grossly overpriced coins, dubious claims, or creative camera work.

    I'll start with what appears to be a Peace Dime:

    Yup, when you're listing coins on eBay, there are an awful lot of ways to do things wrong...

    Ads on ebay, just like most websites, are created by what you have looked at in the past. Basically, this is what it thinks you are interested in.

    Here is one I saw on another forum.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-MS-62BN-1985-P-UNIQUE-PORT-HOLE-TONED-LINCOLN-1c-SHOULD-BE-62-BLACK-RED/312017741500?hash=item48a5b4e6bc:g:jiMAAOSwB4BZ~leG&rmvSB=true&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-53200-19255-0%2F1%3Ftoolid%3D20001%26campid%3D5338203720%26customid%3Dlink%26mpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fitm%252FPCGS-MS-62BN-1985-P-UNIQUE-PORT-HOLE-TONED-LINCOLN-1c-SHOULD-BE-62-BLACK-RED%252F312017741500%253Fhash%253Ditem48a5b4e6bc%253Ag%253AjiMAAOSwB4BZ%7EleG%26srcrot%3D711-53200-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D1384569847551&ul_noapp=true

    The best part of the listing is this part of the description:

    "NOT ACCEPTABLE AS PAYMENT: Foreign currency, stamps, livestock or other animals, small children or ex-wives, or any other weird stuff I have been sent from time to time."


    The coin is quite the looker as well:

    Since they say they won't take small children, are large children acceptable?

    As long as they don’t fall into the “weird stuff” part, that should be fine. :p
