This was said tongue-in-cheek. On the other hand, there are lots of things that sell for ridiculous prices on those sites that are obvious junk....
Big mistake. You could have sold it for a fortune on eBay or Etsy as the only one with the mumps!
Even the ancient Greeks counterfeited money to be spent. There were no collectors that I know of when the Phoenicians counterfeited my "Athenian"...
It's possible it was faked back in 1949 or shortly thereafter in order to spend it, just as recently Britain has had a lot of fake pounds to...

Hugely interesting, but not errors. Even a modern overstrike would not be an error unless it was done unintentionally. Mischievous, perhaps, but...
No pictures, nothing there.
I posted this a few years ago, but this is my smallest coin. Neandria (famous because absolutely nothing happened there of note) 5mm, .08 g.,...
There is a small stain on the scroll to the left (your left) of OF in OF AMERICA on the reverse, as well as what appear in the photo to be some...
