I noticed the seller is new to ebay. What does that say?

As to the coin, I've emailed someone to find out if it is real or not and if it isn't, the listing may be short lived.

It will be reported by someone im sure......look slightly questionable but who knows

 

Obviously some kind of fantasy "coin" or medal.

I liked this in his description: "super smooth cherubic cheek"

 

It must be real - he says it came from the US Mint.

See if he'll accept payments in $3 bills.

 

lol, the Presidential Elections arent even until 2009...

 

The election is this year (Nov. 2008). They don't take office until Jan. 2009.

I actually found a 3 dollar bill on Ebay! It was from the late 19th century and the state of Louisiana. It made me wonder, what with Mardi Gras, is this where that old saying "Queer as a three dollar bill" came from?

Certified by the U.S. Mint...

If it wasn't for that, the auction would be legal, albeit shady, but now he's gone and flown too close to the sun.

 

Here's a direct link for us lazy folk: Barack Obama fantasy piece.

 

Just because the mint didn't say the coin was legal doesn't mean the auction is. People will say anything and twist the facts to sell coins. Sad.

 

Hey well look at the bright side. Here first feedback on ebay is going to be a NEGATIVE one......GOod way to start off

 

Did someone say . . . 3 Dollar Bill:

I would buy that.

 

Guys,
I know the listing is a little shady but it is legit. He said "This 2008 Obama Coin GEM retains luster and frosting as if it just came from the mint." He never said it was struck at US Mint. There are other mints that strike coins and bullion rounds and such.
Just thought I would throw in my 2cents.

 

Maybe it's a Liberia Mint coin? They seem to be doing just about anyone these days.

Ribbit,

liberia's coins are struck right here in the US . Franklinmint

 

I disagree, there is only one "the mint", it should read "as from a mint or a private mint" or the name of the private mint. The description is mint to deceive.

 

Look a little harder.

Certification: U.S. Mint

Anybody seen them on the U.S. Mint website?

I just asked him a simple question.

"What mint do these come from?"

He'll hang himself.

 

Looks like they just shaved the hair off of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver coin.
