Which is worse... the guy with little experience who gets sucked into buying overpriced dreck on ebay thinking he has some rare gem, or the guy who buys honestly described, yet overpriced coins from Littleton? Some like to collect the Littleton way, so who would we be to judge? Reprocessed steel cents are a reality and have been around a long time. Novelties no worse than hundreds of other trinkets people buy, so I don't see the big deal here. For $3 shipped, plus the four Bicentennial cents, it really is not a bad deal for someone who wishes to have such things.
