Searching the bay's completed listings this morning (Nothing better to do) And I stumbled across this terrible copy coin. It is almost like they took Christopher Columbus and threw it at George Washington and they some how magically fused together. lol What do you guys think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4125.m73&item=110474044220#ht_2897wt_939
I so would have bought that.. Its so Funny.. I have a counterfeit DVD from China that is in English and W/ English subtitles that were added by someone who knew how to write Words but must have never heard an English sentence. I think the same guy is making this coin.. Oh my gosh I just love how nuts these Chinese are.. I bet its made of Plastic or Aluminum... It almost makes me want to have a set .. A set I will call "Bizzaro World Coins"
hobby protection act??? Even thought the coin is ~1.5" in diameter, it looks like the word "copy" is still smaller than required by the Hobby Protection Act (however, I could be wrong). Strictly speaking, it isn't a copy of anything. Thanks for pointing this out. I needed a laugh. BGSU just lost in the final sections to Idaho 43-42.
He might mean White Metal which is an alloy usually containing Antimony, Tin, & Copper and has been used in the production of medals and some US pattern coins. I own an 1881 Surrender at Yorktown medal with a white metal composition. Here is a photo. I am not saying he knows what he is talking about or that the thing he sold is white metal. I am only saying that the possibility exists.
I think the funniest part is the store categories on the left hand side of the auction. The seller has a listing of all the types of replica coins they sell. Then there is a category for Authentic Coins. There is one coin listed in the category. Absolutely Classic, thanks for the laugh Travis.:smile
White copper can also mean Coppernickel. due to the color and the specific gravity is almost identical to that of copper.
No bids?! It should be worth the $2.90 in shipping fees alone! OMG, that is way too funny. I think I'll wait for "the other white copper".
