    I got one for 60¢, although I know you can get them cheaper than that, now I feel like I got a REALLY good deal!

    $2,500?!? Maybe it's silver...:whistle:

    "due to the rarity of this item. and to best of my knowledge this is item has a no returns no refund policy."

    That is one of the dumbest things that I have ever see on eBay.

    Because it is rare, then there is no return to "the best of is knowledge".

    Gad, clearly not an English major.

    If I had $1 for every misused "rare" on eBay, I would be a rich man.

    I don't know why people keep putting stuff like that up, I don't remember the last time someone bought something from an auction like that.

    Ebay buyers are wise enough now the sellers need to stop littering like this.

    But you have to look at his feedback... he's a gamer. In his imaginary world, that coin is worth alot of money.

    wow that is ridiculous, $2500 for a steel wheat penny. I don't get how they think someone would be stupid enough to buy that.

    What bothers me is that there is only one image. When you click on it to see a better view of it, it is the same size image. Why? People like this really annoy me.

    The entire thing is all messed up. For one thing 100% feedback is possible since my Kid has all his frinds sene in those for him.
    Now as to that coin. Silver/Steel Wheatline. It's not Silver we all know. Steel, yes. But look down further where he says composition is Copper. Never heard them called Wheatline either. So is it Silver, Steel, Copper or what?
    Yet someone may well buy that stupid thing.

    Look: The one auction ended with no bids, but now he has it back up again with a damaged coin, and a completely different picture! He has re-worded it a little different now too.

    Buy it now: $3,000...YES! I will have to do that...

    "NOTE TO EBAY and those who report my auction. this coin has been appraised by the Coin Collecting shop and this coin is one of the very few copper pennies made in 1943."

    So what is the "Coin Collecting Shop"?

    The picture has changed YET AGAIN to a not-so damaged copper-colored penny.

    EDIT: This is the coin that he did have posted; quite different than the one he has posted now...

    You know. . .THE Coin Collecting shop. HELLO!!!

    Wow, the extent that some people will go to just to make a buck. Is there any way to report someone like this? Sad but true, someone will probably buy it...
