    To start..
    She spells it gwapa but..
    The word guapa in spanish means.
    A good looking/gorgeous woman.
    A tough woman.

    Edit* - Gwapa means a beautiful female in Cebuano Filipino, and also in Tagalog

    Last week I noticed an item that was listed as a Major Mint Error for $99.99
    It definitely is not an error. It's clearly Post Mint Damage.

    I sent a simple message to the seller and this was her response..

    Or just totally ignorant. Many ebay sellers believe that they have an actual mint error.
    That's why I tell newbies that not everything that looks different, strange or weird on a coin is automatically a mint error.

    Where do people that buy this stuff get the idea that these are worth anything?
    I miss the days when we didn't have so many con artists preying on the hobby.

    I'd say stupid people outnumber the con artists, which I guess is a good thing.

    Sort of? o_O

    If that were the case, we could contact the seller and tell them that we have twenty dimes with the same error but will sell to them for $5.00 each, kindly letting them know that they could then turn around and sell them for $49.99 - $99.99 for a profit.

    If they truly thought that this was an error, they'd jump on that deal ASAP.

    But I'm betting they'd respond by saying that they will send you a shady money order for $2,000 and instruct you to take $100.00 out for the 20 error dimes that you'll send them and then along with the dimes, you send them $1,500 cash back, while telling you, since they are such nice people, to keep the other $400.00 for your troubles.

    This seller is still trying to sell this damaged coin.
    Lowered the price again :facepalm:
    $29.99 when it's only worth 10C

    I would consider it to be worth less then 10 cents, because I doubt it wouldn't be accepted in a coin machine. The only time I use coins is for parking meters, and I know from experience a parking meter won't except a dime that beat up and disfigured. I've tried it with those type of dimes, plenty of times.
