    I found this auction on eBay (item 230210391540) for an "1860 U.S. Coin Indian Head Cent - Proof". This is no more a proof coin than I am. It has attracted 4 bids so far (current high bid is $8). Hopefully, no one will be fooled by this misrepresentation and pay proof money for this common business strike.

    Looks like the pennies that go thru the wash cycle hidden in my pants with pure bleach run thru.

    Looks like they are listing for someone else, perhaps an estate (oh, that terrible word).
    But it is a proof-- proof that the lister is clueless.
