[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 554563, member: 4350"]It was just a bunch of "hype" probably by someone who was clueless and they sold you the coin because you thought it was something unusual. Unfortunately, It's a coin that has no value above the 50 cents, face value. A friendly piece of advice or two. First learn about what you are looking at so you have the knowledge needed to walk away from something like this. Then, understand that a large majority of sellers on some auction sites make up stuff as they go along. Always be skeptical of anything like that on an auction site unless you are extremely familiar with the seller and that seller is an expert on errors and die varieties. Also, just because they say they are an expert on these things, don't count on their expertise. You have to develop your own expertise before you spend money for nothing. This was an $8.50 loss that is well worth the $8.50 from the standpoint of education. "Buyer Beware" has never been more important with respect to coins as it is today. Have Fun, Bill[/QUOTE]
